Description
contactmanager is a module for FreePBX@, which is an open source GUI that controls and manages Asterisk© (PBX). In versions 15.0.14 and below, 16.0.0 through 16.0.26.4 and 17.0.0 through 17.0.5, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in FreePBX allows a low-privileged User Control Panel (UCP) user to inject malicious JavaScript into the system.
