Status: ModifiedMedium (6.1)—

An issue was discovered in ionize through 1.0.8. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data in the "path" HTTP GET parameter passed to the "ionize-master/themes/admin/javascript/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/codemirror/dialog.php" URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.
