Tested On

Summary

AdaptCMS is a Content Management System trying to be both simple and easy to use, as well as very agile and extendable. Not only so we can easily create Plugins or additions, but so other developers can get involved. Using CakePHP we are able to achieve this with a built-in plugin system and MVC setup, allowing us to focus on the details and end-users to focus on building their website to look and feel great.

Description

AdaptCMS version 3.0.3 suffers from multiple stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Input passed to several POST parameters is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
