Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Textpattern versions 4.0.5

Description The issue concerns multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This can be achieved via the PATH INFO to "setup/index.php" or the name parameter to "index.php" in the comments preview section.

Recommendations For version 4.0.5, consider disabling the comments preview section until a patch is available. Restrict access to "setup/index.php" and the name parameter in "index.php" to minimize the risk of exploitation.
