CVE-2025-52097
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-f4qw-x63m-jfrp ↗EUVD-2025-211106 ↗
description
InstantForum.NET 4.1.4 reflects certain query-string input into HTML without safe output handling. An attacker may cause script to run in a visitor's browser if the visitor loads a page containing attacker-controlled query parameters.
mitigation
Restrict public access to affected forum instances and filter or reject untrusted query parameters at a reverse proxy where feasible. Apply a vendor-provided update when one is available; no fixed release is identified in the evidence.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
