CVE-2023-36291Network attack vector

Script execution via crafted page content

Published Jul 3, 2023 · Updated Nov 27, 2024

Cross-site scripting in MaxSite CMS 108.7 allows remote attackers to execute script via f_content in admin/page_new. The page-creation handler processes attacker-controlled f_content without sufficient output neutralization, causing a browser to interpret it as script. Network access is sufficient to submit the input, but exploitation requires a user to load the affected content; execution is confined to that user's browser context.
