CVE-2022-45122Network attack vector

Browser script execution via undisclosed input handling

Published Dec 7, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Cross-site scripting in affected Six Apart Movable Type releases allows remote attackers to execute script in a visitor's browser. Neither Six Apart nor JVN discloses the input field, request handler, or output context that fails to neutralize the injected script. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires a user to visit the affected site; the script can read or alter browser-accessible data in that site's security context.
