Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPO-Foundation WebPageTest version 3.0

Description An issue exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed to the "webpagetest-master/www/compare-cf.php" URL. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.

Recommendations For version 3.0, consider restricting access to the "webpagetest-master/www/compare-cf.php" URL until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, ensure proper validation and sanitization of user-supplied data to prevent code execution.
