Description:
Yunus Emre Yilmaz has discovered a vulnerability in Seditio, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "Referer" HTTP header in various scripts isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an administrator's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 102. Other versions may also be affected.
