Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to the input validation error in the search function of the management web interface when processing keyword parameter. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

This is possible because a wrong content-type header (text/html instead of application/json) is set.

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.
