jCore - '/admin/index.php?path' Cross-Site Scripting

text exploit Source: Exploit-DB

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/56102/info

jCore is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

jCore 1.0pre and prior versions are vulnerable.
