Description

diskover-web v2.3.0 Community Edition suffers from multiple stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in its administrative settings interface. Various configuration fields such as ES_HOST, ES_INDEXREFRESH, ES_PORT, ES_SCROLLSIZE, ES_TRANSLOGSIZE, ES_TRANSLOGSYNCINT, EXCLUDES_FILES, FILE_TYPES[], INCLUDES_DIRS, INCLUDES_FILES, and TIMEZONE do not properly sanitize user-supplied input.
