Browser script execution via unencoded searchtext
Published May 12, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2025
Reflected XSS in julmud phpDVDProfiler 20230807 allows remote attackers to execute scripts in another user's browser through a crafted search URL. The main and gallery search paths insert the searchtext parameter into page output and pagination links without HTML entity encoding. No authentication is required, but a victim must open the attacker-controlled URL; script execution is confined to that user's browser context.
