Description
Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Cross-site scripting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to an input validation error in the "view_filters_page.php" and "manage_filter_edit_page.php" pages. A remote attacker is able to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted "PATH_INFO". This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for XSS issue (SB2018080310)
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.
