CVE-2017-20182Network attack vector

Script execution via unneutralized pagination URL

Published Mar 10, 2023 · Updated Nov 22, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Mobile Vikings Django AJAX Utilities 1.2.1 and earlier lets remote authenticated users inject script via a pagination URL. The Pagination backslash handler in django_ajax/static/ajax-utilities/js/pagination.js processes the attacker-controlled url value without neutralizing it before placing it in page output. Exploitation requires victim interaction and permits script execution in the affected site's browser context, with no reported service interruption.
