Input passed via various form fields (e.g. "Report Name", "Asset No.", and "Full Name" in the Models setting) is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed. Successful exploitation may require according privileges to access the settings. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 9.1.22 (evaluation version). Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to the application.
