CVE-2015-10028Network attack vector

Browser script execution via unescaped room subjects

Published Jan 7, 2023 · Updated Nov 25, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Pear Programming allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser via a crafted room subject. RoomElement.render inserts this.options.subject into a template and passes the result to jQuery.html without first HTML-escaping the subject. A victim must view the main page containing the attacker-supplied subject; script execution can expose session data or alter page content.
