A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Atjiu Pybbs versions up to 6.0.0. The issue resides in the Admin Panel's settings API, where user input is not properly sanitized before being displayed. This flaw allows an authenticated user to inject malicious JavaScript, which is then executed when the affected page is viewed. The vulnerability is exacerbated by the application's cookie settings, which do not mark cookies as HttpOnly, potentially allowing attackers to steal cookies from both regular users and administrators, leading to account takeovers.
Users are advised to update to the latest version of Atjiu Pybbs, where this vulnerability has been patched.
