CVE-2017-5964

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Emoncms versions prior to 9.8.1

Description The issue exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data in multiple HTTP GET parameters passed to the "emoncms-master/Modules/vis/visualisations/compare.php" API endpoint. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.

Recommendations For Emoncms versions prior to 9.8.1, update to version 9.8.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "emoncms-master/Modules/vis/visualisations/compare.php" API endpoint until a patch is available. Avoid using user-supplied data in the affected HTTP GET parameters until the issue is resolved.
