Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall
Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This is because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the site. It allows the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks as well.
