What is CVE-2017-14981?

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ATutor versions before 2.2.3, stemming from inadequate data filtering in the RSS feeds module. This flaw allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript code, which can execute in the browser of unsuspecting users when they visit the affected site. As a result, users may be exposed to malicious scripts that compromise their personal information or lead to further exploitation. Implementing security measures and upgrading to the latest version is crucial to mitigate this risk.
