Discussion

WebWiz Rich Text Editor is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

This issue affects WebWiz 3.1 and earlier versions.

Exploit

Attackers can use a browser to exploit this issue.
