CVE-2024-43300
CVE-2024-43300: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Movie Database versions up to 1.0.11. This security flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages, potentially compromising user accounts and data. The vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization during web page generation.
Although the CVSS score is 4.8 (Medium), SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 49, suggesting a moderate level of risk. While not critical, this XSS vulnerability poses a significant threat because injected scripts are persistently stored on the server, impacting all users who access the affected pages. Exploiting this flaw could lead to data theft, session hijacking, or website defacement. Update Movie Database to a patched version to mitigate the risk.
