Unauthenticated reflected script execution

Published Oct 29, 2024 · Updated May 12, 2026

Reflected XSS in fifthsegment DocumentPress 2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via crafted web requests. Public advisories do not identify the affected parameter, function, or code path; they disclose only insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Exploitation requires no authentication but requires a victim to follow a crafted link, causing attacker-controlled script to run in the victim's browser context.
