Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Simple Link Directory versions prior to 9.0.5
Description
The software interpolates the
sld no results found option into a JavaScript string literal without proper encoding. Since the sanitize text field() function does not remove quotes, a stored payload can break out of the string, allowing the execution of arbitrary scripts for every visitor to the page. This is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue, where a malicious script is permanently stored on the target server.Recommendations
Update to version 9.0.5 or later.
Fix
XSS
