AI-suggested

Upgrade REDAXO core to version 5.21.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No additional mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause.

Description

REDAXO core versions before 5.21.0 contain a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Authenticated attackers can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious scripts via the 'type' parameter in the metainfo_default_fields_create API. The vulnerability arises because rex_view::message() renders attacker-controlled input without proper escaping, allowing script execution in the backend session of a victim. This issue is fixed in REDAXO version 5.21.0.
