Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PivotX versions prior to 2.3.11

Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists due to insufficient validation of user input in the form method, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This is related to the PHP SELF variable and form actions.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.3.11, update to version 2.3.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the form method in modules/formclass.php to minimize the risk of exploitation.
