Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions meBiblio version 0.4.7

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This can be achieved through several parameters, including the sql parameter to "dbadd.inc.php", the InsertJournal parameter to "add journal mask.inc.php", the InsertBibliography parameter to "insert mask.inc.php", and the LabelYear parameter to "search mask.inc.php".

Recommendations For meBiblio version 0.4.7, consider restricting access to the vulnerable parameters sql, InsertJournal, InsertBibliography, and LabelYear in their respective files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using these parameters in the affected API endpoints. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
