How to fix?

Upgrade concrete5/concrete5 to version 8.5.16, 9.2.8 or higher.

Overview

concrete5/concrete5 is a concrete5 open source CMS.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') due to improper validation of user-supplied input in the Search Field. An attacker can inject malicious scripts by manipulating the search filter, which will be executed in the context of the administrator's session.

Note

This is only exploitable if an attacker has administrative privileges or can coerce an administrator into modifying a compromised filter.
