Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
AbanteCart version 1.2.12
Description:
The issue is related to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) that can be triggered via the `sort` parameter. An example of exploitation is demonstrated by a substring in the URL '/apparel--accessories?sort='.
Recommendations:
For AbanteCart version 1.2.12, consider restricting access to the `sort` parameter in the affected API endpoint until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `sort` parameter in URLs to minimize the risk of exploitation.
