## Summary Reflected XSS in the Comment module via the `status_comment` URL parameter. The parameter accepts attacker-controlled base64-encoded HTML/JavaScript that is decoded server-side and rendered unescaped into the page. Compounded by a second flaw: the `checkss` anti-forgery token was derived from a site-wide static value (`NV_CACHE_PREFIX`) instead of a per-session value, making the token reusable across all users and allowing the attack to be delivered via a simple crafted URL. ## Details ### Vulnerability 1 — Reflected XSS via `status_comment` **Affected components:** - `modules/comment/funcs/main.php` — parameter ingestion - `modules/comment/comment.php` — decode and template assignment - `themes/*/modules/comment/comment.tpl` — raw render The `status_comment` GET/POST parameter is sanitised with `get_title()`, which applies `strip_tags()`. Because the parameter is intended to carry a base64-encoded string, its character set (`[A-Za-z0-9-_,]`) passes through `strip_tags()` unchanged. The value is later decoded with `nv_base64_decode()` and assigned to the template variable `STATUS_COMMENT` **without any escaping**, which the template then renders raw inside a ``
