CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade magento/core to version 1.9.4.0 or higher.

Overview

magento/core is a release of the Magento Community Edition.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). An administrator on Magento 1 with permissions to edit CMS pages can insert script tags into the version history label which will trigger when another administrator previews a page which is standard practice prior to publishing content updates. The malicious script tag does not need to be the most recent entry, it just needs to exist in the history. As such a malicious actor would be able to insert the bad label in the non-current entry to avoid suspicion as this would not be obvious. This could then sit for some time until an administrator comes to preview the cms page before making an edit, allowing the malicious actor to perform actions as that user and gain additional privileges.
