EDB-ID:

30759




Platform:

CGI

Web Gateway is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

This issue affects versions prior to Web Gateway 48.1.1.
