Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NotFound FWD Slider versions n/a through 1.0

Description The issue is related to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, which allows for reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS). This means that an attacker can inject malicious scripts into the website, potentially leading to unauthorized actions. 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 n/a through 1.0, update to a version later than 1.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting user input to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using vulnerable parameters in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about additional mitigation measures.
