CVE-2024-49320 describes a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in Dennis Encyclopedia / Glossary / Wiki (versions up to 1.7.60). The issue stems from improper input neutralization during web page generation, which allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in users' browsers. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges required, but requires user interaction. Exploitation can lead to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. No patch or mitigation details are provided in the available data.

Successful exploitation of this reflected XSS vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of users visiting the affected web pages. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or manipulation of web content, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent. The CVSS score of 7.1 reflects these potential impacts. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with untrusted input and consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block reflected XSS attempts.
