Subject: CVE Request -- Contenido 4.9.x - 4.9.5 -- Reflecting XSS
 vulnerability in exception handler with deactivated AMR function

Hello Josh, Steve, vendors, list.

I found a reflecting XSS vulnerability in the exception handler function of
CMS Contenido, which affects all versions from 4.9.x to 4.9.5 when using
having disabled advanced mod rewrite (AMR) function, which is used for
generating SEO-friendly URLs.

The vulnerability can be triggered by submitting arbitrary HTML- and/or
JavaScriptcode in parameters "idcat", "idart" and "lang" to the PHP file
front_content.php.

Can you assign a CVE ID for it please?

Greetings and Happy New Year,

Steffen Rösemann
