CVE-2021-20116
Estado: ModificadaMedia (6.1)—
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in TCExam <= 14.8.4. The paths provided in the f, d, and dir parameters in tce_select_mediafile.php were not properly validated and could cause reflected XSS via the unsanitized output of the path supplied. An attacker could craft a malicious link which, if triggered by an administrator, could result in the attacker hijacking the victim's session or performing actions on their behalf.
