CVE-2025-6849 Details
Description
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in code-projects Simple Forum 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /forum_edit1.php. The manipulation of the argument text leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Simple Forum version 1.0. The issue resides in the '/forum_edit1.php' file, where the 'text' POST parameter is improperly sanitized before being displayed in the HTML response. This flaw allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the user's session. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, but requires user interaction.
It is recommended to sanitize the 'text' parameter before reflecting it in the HTML output, using context-aware escaping. Additionally, applying a restrictive Content-Security-Policy header can help prevent the execution of inline scripts. Reviewing other parts of the application for similar reflection issues and conducting regular security testing are also advisable.
