AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Quate CMS version 0.3.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH INFO to specific PHP files, including "index.php", "login.php", and "credits.php" in the admin directory, as well as "upgrade/index.php". This can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Recommendations For Quate CMS version 0.3.4, consider restricting access to the index.php, login.php, credits.php, and upgrade/index.php files until a patch is available. Avoid using the PATH INFO to inject web script or HTML in these files. As a temporary workaround, consider validating and sanitizing all user input to prevent XSS attacks.
