| Title | kirilkirkov Ecommerce-CodeIgniter-Bootstrap master Cross Site Scripting |
|---|
| Description | ## Description
Ecommerce-CodeIgniter-Bootstrap exposes a hidden REST API endpoint that allows unauthenticated product creation. Because REST authentication and API key checks were disabled, an anonymous attacker could submit product data through `/index.php/api/product/set`.
The same flow allows attacker-controlled product fields, including title and description values, to be stored and later rendered in frontend product pages without sufficient output encoding. This produces stored cross-site scripting when a victim opens the created product page.
## Technical Details
- Affected component: `application/config/routes.php`, `application/config/rest.php`, `application/controllers/Api/Products.php`, `application/models/Api_model.php`
- Vulnerable endpoint: `POST /index.php/api/product/set`
- Rendering sinks: product pages/templates, including `application/views/templates/wind2026/view_product.php` and header templates
- Weakness: `CWE-79`, `CWE-306`
- CVSS v3.1: `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N`
