Script execution via bypassable tag filtering
Published Dec 22, 2021 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Cross-site scripting in S-CMS Government Station Building System 5.0 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript through a book submission. The /function/booksave.php handler filters selected tags but accepts SVG onload handlers in the G_title, G_name, and G_msg fields. Execution requires a victim to view the resulting content, exposing data and actions available within that victim's browser context.
