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 'page' of the 'ajax.php' resource.

Recommendations For CandidATS version 3.0.0, consider implementing proper input validation to prevent XSS attacks, and restrict access to the 'ajax.php' resource until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the 'page' functionality of the 'ajax.php' resource to minimize the risk of exploitation.
