CVE-2005-4780: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Fidra Lighthouse CMS 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers...

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Fidra Lighthouse CMS 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the search parameter in a query_string to the home page. NOTE: The vendor disputes this issue, saying "Lighthouse does not in any way make use of the PHP technology. [It] is an application server ... A technology like this cannot be susceptible to client-side cross-site-scripting-attacks on its own, but only applications created based on such a technology. This does not only apply to Lighthouse, but also to Perl, PHP or web applications based on Java Servlet technology." Since the original researcher is known to test demo pages and is sometimes inaccurate, it is likely that this issue will be REJECTED

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old, disputed report of reflected cross-site scripting in Fidra Lighthouse CMS 1.1.0 and earlier. The vendor disputed that Lighthouse itself was vulnerable, and the CVE text says the issue was likely to be rejected. Business urgency is low unless you still operate legacy Lighthouse-based public sites. Exposure appears limited to legacy Fidra Lighthouse CMS 1.1.0 or earlier deployments, or applications built on Lighthouse that reflect search input unsafely. The bundle does not confirm affected CPEs or current product status. Treat as low priority unless the organization still runs this legacy CMS publicly. The bigger issue is unsupported legacy web software, not a confirmed modern exploitation campaign. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Lighthouse CMS or Lighthouse-based public applications.; Check vendor or archived project guidance before assuming a platform-level fix.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy deployments where practical..
