Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions webpagetest version 3.0

Description Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issues were discovered due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data, such as benchmark and time, passed to the "/webpagetest-master/www/benchmarks/viewtest.php" API endpoint. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.

Recommendations For webpagetest version 3.0, ensure proper filtration of user-supplied data, especially for parameters like benchmark and time, to prevent XSS attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the viewtest.php page until a patch is available.
