Administrator session compromise via stored group name
Published Jun 21, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Stored cross-site scripting in HisiPHP 2.0.8 allows remote attackers to run script in an administrator's browser through a group name. The addgroup.html endpoint accepts a POSTed name containing script markup and stores it without neutralization before the value is rendered in the administration interface. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator's browser to submit the crafted form and process the stored group name, exposing that session to attacker-controlled script.
