The following vulnerabilities exist: - 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-2019-16172) - Reflected XSS for escalating privileges. This occurs in application/core/Survey_Common_Action.php. (CVE-2019-16173) - 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-2019-16178) - Reflected XSS that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via extensions of uploaded files. (CVE-2019-16182) - Admin users can mark other users' notifications as read. (CVE-2019-16181) - Admin users can run an integrity check without proper permissions.

(CVE-2019-16176) - A clickjacking vulnerability related to X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN not being set by default. (CVE-2019-16175) - The database backup uses browser cache, which exposes it entirely.
