Description
Open ISES Tickets before 3.44.2 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in db_loader.php that allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript by passing an unsanitized value through the multiple POST parameters (ticketshost, ticketsdb, ticketsuser, ticketspassword, ticketsprefix, db_schema) directly into HTML form input value attributes. Attackers can craft a malicious request containing a JavaScript payload that executes in the victim's browser when the response is rendered.
