Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: PostX versions 4.1.1 through 4.1.15

Description: The issue is related to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, which allows for stored cross-site scripting (XSS).

The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available.
