CVE-2009-0541

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—💥 Exploit

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Magento 1.2.0 and 1.2.1.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the username field in an admin/ request to index.php, possibly related to the login[username] parameter and the app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Session.php login function; (2) the email address field in an admin/index/forgotpassword/ request to index.php, possibly related to the email parameter and the app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/IndexController.php forgotpasswordAction function; or (3) the return parameter to the default URI under downloader/.

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.
