Reflected XSS via unescaped History parameter
Published Apr 22, 2024 · Updated Oct 27, 2024
Reflected XSS in phpFox 4.8.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts via the History query parameter. The /search/ endpoint reflects the History value into its response without neutralizing script-capable HTML. Exploitation requires an authenticated victim to open a crafted URL, causing the payload to run in that victim's phpFox session.
