Description

Typesetter CMS versions up to and including 5.1 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the administrative interface within the Tools Status functionality. The path parameter is reflected into the HTML response without proper output encoding in include/admin/Tools/Status.php. An authenticated attacker can supply crafted input containing HTML or JavaScript, resulting in arbitrary script execution in the context of an authenticated user's browser session.
