id: CVE-2025-51501
info:
name: Microweber CMS2.0 - Cross-Site Scripting
author: nukunga
severity: medium
description: |
Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the `id` parameter of the `live_edit.module_settings` API endpoint in Microweber CMS2.0 allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript.
impact: |
Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers through the id parameter in the module_settings API, potentially leading to session hijacking.
remediation: |
Upgrade Microweber CMS to a version later than 2.0 that properly sanitizes the id parameter in live_edit endpoints.
