  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"The following vulnerabilities exist:

  - CVE-2019-16172: Stored XSS for escalating privileges from a low-privileged account to, for
  example, SuperAdmin. The attack uses a survey group in which the title contains JavaScript that is
  mishandled upon group deletion

  - CVE-2019-16173: Reflected XSS for escalating privileges. This occurs in
  application/core/Survey_Common_Action.php

  - CVE-2019-16178: Stored XSS that allows authenticated users with correct permissions to inject
  arbitrary web script or HTML via titles of admin box buttons on the home page

  - CVE-2019-16182: Reflected XSS that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or
  HTML via extensions of uploaded files

  - CVE-2019-16181: Admin users can mark other users' notifications as read

  - CVE-2019-16183: Admin users can run an integrity check without proper permissions

  - CVE-2019-16185: Admin users can view, update, or delete reserved menu entries without proper
  permissions

  - CVE-2019-16186: Admin users can access the plugin manager without proper permissions

  - CVE-2019-16174: An XML injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to import specially
  crafted XML files and execute code or compromise data integrity

  - CVE-2019-16176: A path disclosure vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to discover the
  path to the application in the filesystem

  - CVE-2019-16175: A clickjacking vulnerability related to X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN not being set
  by default

  - CVE-2019-16177: The database backup uses browser cache, which exposes it entirely

  - CVE-2019-16179: The default configuration does not enforce SSL/TLS usage

  - CVE-2019-16180: A vulnerability that allows remote attackers to bruteforce the login form and
  enumerate usernames when the LDAP authentication method is used

  - CVE-2019-16184: A CSV injection vulnerability that allows survey participants to inject commands
  via their survey responses that will be included in the export CSV file

  - CVE-2019-16187: A vulnerability related to the use of an anti-CSRF cookie without the HttpOnly
  flag, which allows attackers to access a cookie value via a client-side script.");
