Administrator-context script execution via unescaped parameters
Published Aug 29, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall before 4.21.83 allows remote attackers to run script via crafted URLs. The settings page writes the GOTMLS_debug and eli query parameters into its response without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. An authenticated administrator must open the crafted URL, after which the script executes in that administrator's browser context.
