Session-detail theft via unencoded test-script parameters
Published May 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Cross-site scripting in PHP Server Monitor 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to steal session details through a crafted test-script URL. The bundled PHPMailer test_script/index.php page interpolates attacker-controlled form parameters into generated HTML without context-appropriate output encoding. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted URL, after which injected script executes in the application's origin and can expose session details.
