CVE-2026-38936 Details
Description
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in diskover-community <= 2.3.5 in public/selectindices.php via the namecontains parameter
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in Diskover Community versions through 2.3.5. The issue resides in the public/selectindices.php file, where the namecontains GET parameter is echoed without proper sanitization. This unsanitized input is injected into both an HTML href attribute and a JavaScript window.location.href string, creating two separate contexts for potential exploitation.
To address this vulnerability, sanitize the namecontains parameter before injecting it into the JavaScript or HTML context. For the JavaScript context, use json_encode to safely encode the parameter. For the HTML context, apply htmlspecialchars to escape the parameter properly.
