AI-suggested
Users should upgrade to maalfer Pentestify version 1.1.1 or later once available. Until then, apply strict input validation and output encoding on usernames, especially when used in HTML attributes. Avoid embedding user input directly in JavaScript event handlers.
Description
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the user management component of maalfer Pentestify before version 1.1.1. An authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the username field, which is improperly escaped before being embedded in an onclick attribute. This allows the injected script to execute in the browser of another authenticated user when they click the account deletion button for the affected user.
