Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeScout versions prior to 1.8.180

Description The issue is caused by a lack of input validation and sanitization in both Session::flash and other areas, allowing user input to be executed without proper filtering. This results in a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.8.180, update to version 1.8.180 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Session::flash function until a patch is available. Restrict access to areas where user input is not properly sanitized to minimize the risk of exploitation.
