XSS Vulnerability

[Mahomed Dawood]

Hi Guys

I recently ran a security check on my website and came across some reflective xss vulnerability on the product page
Is this something that abantecart are planning on fixing ? or could this just be misconfiguration on my side ?

Hi Mahomed Dawood
How did you fix?
Did you update abantecart to latest fixed version or did you apply a fix?

what cart version are you currently using?

We have posted the patch file for AbanteCart v 1.3.2 along with instructions
You can get it here:

If you are using v 1.3.3,  the corrected files are already in that code.
