Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Boesch SimpNews versions prior to 2.34.01

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified parameters to certain files, including "admin/index.php" and "admin/pwlost.php". This can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.34.01, update to version 2.34.01 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affected files, such as "admin/index.php" and "admin/pwlost.php", to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using unspecified parameters in these files until the issue is resolved.
