Cross-site scripting via unsafe SGF parsing
Published Jul 6, 2022 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Cross-site scripting in EidoGo allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim browser via malicious SGF input. SGF comments and game information are inserted into the document with innerHTML without escaping, while URL-loaded data beginning with a left brace is evaluated with eval, allowing attacker-controlled JavaScript. Exploitation requires a victim to load the crafted game record; the documented impact is client-side script execution with confidentiality and integrity effects, not service interruption.
