MiniCMS 1.1 Vulnerability Alert: XSS Strikes Again!

MiniCMS 1.1 has a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the ‘date’ parameter of mc-admin/page.php. This flaw lets attackers inject scripts, triggering amusing pop-up alerts instead of, you know, doing something productive. Always sanitize your inputs, folks, unless you want your site to be a comedy show called “XSS Gone Wild”!

Time to face the music, or rather, the alert(‘XSS’) symphony.
