Technical Details & Description:
================================
A non-persistent cross site vulnerability has been discovered in the official VestaCP (Control Panel) v0.9.8-26 hosting web-application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script codes with non-persistent attack vector to compromise browser
to web-application requests from the client-side.
The cross site security vulnerability is located in the `period` parameter of the `./list/rrd/` and `./list/rrd/image.php?/rrd/la/` modules.
The injection point is located in the period parameter and the execution occurs in the `Graphs` module. The request method to inject the
malicious script code is GET and the attack vector of the vulnerability is non-persistent on client-side.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in session hijacking, non-persistent phishing attacks, non-persistent external redirects
to malicious source and non-persistent manipulation of affected application modules.
Request Method(s):
[+] GET
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] ./list/rrd/
[+] ./rrd/la/
Vulnerable File(s):
[+] image.php
Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] period
Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers without account and with low user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the cross site web vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The cross site web vulnerability can be resolved by an encode or escape of the vulnerable period parameter context in the get method request.
Sanitize as well the output location of the content to resolve the point were the script code code executes.
Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the cross site scripting web vulnerability in the vesta cp web-application is estimated as medium.
