CVE-2026-48217

Description

Open ISES Tickets before 3.44.2 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in delete_module.php that allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript by passing an unsanitized value through the multiple POST parameters (module_choice, flag, confirmation) directly into rendered HTML content and form action attributes. Attackers can craft a malicious request containing a JavaScript payload that executes in the victim's browser when the response is rendered.
