Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CandidATS version 3.0.0

Description The issue allows an external attacker to steal the cookie of arbitrary users. This is possible because the application does not properly validate user input against XSS attacks, specifically on the sortDirection of the "ajax.php" resource.

Recommendations For CandidATS version 3.0.0, consider disabling the sortDirection parameter in the "ajax.php" resource as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the "ajax.php" resource to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the sortDirection parameter in the affected resource until the issue is resolved.
