Iframe Phishing
Due to insufficient validation of user inputs, it is possible to integrate any resources into a new iframe. An attacker can use this vulnerability for phishing by embedding a crafted page.
A rudimentary phishing attempt was presented to illustrate the technical possibilities (see Figure 3). This would allow an attacker to copy login fields and transmit the login data to external servers (see Figure 4).

await fetch("https://main_url/grid_app_export_ctrl.php", {
    "credentials": "include",
    "headers": {
        "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0",

Looking forward to get advice on how to fix this immediately and then waiting for a fix on the whole export procedure form the Scriptcase team ASAP.

Bumping this for visibility.

My advise would be for the sender to sent these findings to bugs at scriptcase dot net, and even notify through the chat. I think that SC should respond as this can be a serious item for many.

Thanks, do you have the exact link to which send the evidences?

email: bugs@scriptcase.net

Or use the chat window on the scriptcase.net site.

Can you try to configure Apache to avoid that?
To avoid cross site scripting, add this to Apache configuration file (as, in example, /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/security.conf):
Header always set X-XSS-Protection “1; mode=block”

For iframe phising try:
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN

We recommend configuring existing security options in your applications, where you avoid this type of attack. You can access the docs for more details on each option.

A suggested tool is to use this online scanner, which will show your application’s protection level. Your precise URL is online so he can read it.
