  name: AcuToWeb server/10.5.0.7577c8b - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    AcuToWeb server/10.5.0.7577c8b is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) via the portgw parameter. Unsanitized user input is reflected in the response, allowing arbitrary JavaScript execution.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this XSS vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in victims' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or other malicious activities.
  remediation: |
    Update AcuToWeb to the latest version. Implement proper input validation and output encoding for all user-supplied data, especially the portgw parameter.
