What is CVE-2018-10686?

A vulnerability has been identified in Vesta Control Panel version 0.9.8-20 that allows for Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs through the use of the $_REQUEST['path'] parameter in the view/file/index.php URI. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code remotely via certain configurations, specifically through a file_put_contents call located within web/upload/UploadHandler.php. Proper validation and sanitization measures are crucial to mitigate these risks and protect users from potential attacks.
