Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The weakness exists in the get_current_page() function in 'lib/functions.php' due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
