CVE-2024-46998Network attack vector

Stored script execution via email form settings

Published Oct 24, 2024 · Updated Oct 24, 2024

Stored XSS in baserCMS before 5.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through edited email form settings. The edit workflow persists crafted setting data that is later rendered in the management interface, but the vendor has not identified the affected field or missing output-encoding operation. The issue matters when the management screen is available to multiple users; execution occurs in the browser of a user who opens the affected administrative page.
