CVE-2021-40910Network attack vector

Script execution via reflected management input

Published Jun 15, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Reflected XSS in the PHPCMS 9.6.3 management interface allows remote attackers to execute script in a user's browser. Public sources do not identify the affected endpoint, input parameter, or missing output-encoding operation. Exploitation requires a user to open an attacker-crafted request and results in browser-side script execution rather than server-side code execution.
