How to fix?

Upgrade genix/cms to version 1.1.0 or higher.

Overview

genix/cms is a Simple and Free Opensource CMS and Framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to the mishandling of certain username substring relationships, such as the admin<script> username versus the admin username, related to register.php, User.class.php, and Type.class.php. An attacker can cause a denial of service by leveraging these relationships.
