CVE-2020-36510Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Reflected XSS via unescaped AJAX parameter

Published Feb 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Reflected XSS in Codetipi 15Zine before 3.3.0 allows remote attackers to execute script in a victim's browser via a crafted request. The cb_s_a AJAX action returns the cbi parameter in its response without sanitizing or escaping the value. Exploitation requires a victim to open an attacker-crafted URL; injected script then runs in the site's browser context, permitting page manipulation and access to data available in that context.
