Browser script execution via unencoded user profile fields
Published Jun 22, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Stored XSS in Victor CMS 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser through crafted user fields. The add-user handler stores user_name, user_firstname, and user_lastname values that the users view renders without HTML encoding. A victim must view the saved user entry; the demonstrated consequence is browser-context data access or page modification, not server compromise.
