Session theft via unsanitized profiler SQL output
Published Mar 4, 2021 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Reflected XSS in QCubed Framework 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to steal authenticated users' sessions via profile.php. The profiler renders the attacker-controlled strQuery value from serialized profile data as SQL output without HTML sanitization. Profiling must be enabled, and an authenticated user must open the crafted response before the script runs in that user's browser context.
