Summary		(es) FreeScout es un servicio de asistencia gratuito y autoalojado, con buzón compartido. Antes de la versión 1.8.180, la vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripiting (XSS) se debía a la falta de validación y depuración de entradas tanto en \Session::flash como en __, lo que permitía que la entrada del usuario se ejecutara sin el filtrado adecuado. Este problema se ha corregido en la versión 1.8.180.
