Description
A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) affects LimeSurvey versions prior to 6.15.11+250909, due to the lack of validation of gid parameter in getInstance() function in application/models/QuestionCreate.php. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious URL and compromise the logged in user.
