CVE-2005-3959

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in FreeWebStat 1.0 rev37 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) site, (2) jsref, (3) jsres, and (4) jscolor parameters to pixel.php, which are not sanitized before being included in the logdb.html file, and (5) the search key to stat.php.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
