Description
CI4MS is a CodeIgniter 4-based CMS skeleton that delivers a production-ready, modular architecture with RBAC authorization and theme support. Prior to version 0.31.0.0, the application fails to properly sanitize user-controlled input when handling backup uploads and processing backup metadata. An attacker can inject a malicious JavaScript payload into the backup filename via the uploaded xss.sql, which uses SQL functionality to insert the XSS payload server-side. This stored payload is later rendered unsafely in multiple backup management views without proper output encoding, leading to stored blind cross-site scripting (Blind XSS). This issue has been patched in version 0.31.0.0.
