What is CVE-2019-19551?

CVE-2019-19551 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Sangoma Freepbx, published on 6 Dec 2019. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

In userman 13.0.76.43 through 15.0.20 in Sangoma FreePBX, XSS exists in the User Management screen of the Administrator web site. An attacker with access to the User Control Panel application can submit malicious values in some of the time/date formatting and time-zone fields. These fields are not being properly sanitized.
