Reflected XSS via unsanitized cat parameter
Published Mar 4, 2026 · Updated Mar 4, 2026
Reflected XSS in IDC SFX Series SuperFlex web management interface 101 allows remote attackers to execute script via the cat parameter. The /index.cgi handler reflects the cat value into the HTML response without sanitizing characters that create elements or scripts. Exploitation requires a victim's browser to request a crafted URL, after which script runs in the interface's browser origin and can read or alter page content.
