CVE-2026-36470 Details
Description
CuteNews v.2.1.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in index.php. The value of the "Referer" header is copied into the response HTML unmodified/unescaped during POST messages to index.php.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in CuteNews version 2.1.2, specifically within the index.php file. This issue arises because the 'Referer' header value is directly copied into the response HTML without proper escaping or sanitization during POST requests to index.php. As a result, remote attackers can inject malicious scripts that are executed in the context of the user's browser.
