What is CVE-2024-53255?

BoidCMS, a PHP-based flat file content management system, is susceptible to a reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability through the /admin?page=media endpoint. An attacker can exploit this weakness by manipulating the file parameter to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. Such exploitation can allow the attacker to gain access to user session cookies, facilitate phishing attacks, or potentially alter website content. Users are urged to upgrade to version 2.1.2, as this issue has been rectified in the latest release, and there are no known workarounds available.
