Session hijacking via unsanitized quicksearch input
Published Apr 12, 2021 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Reflected XSS in SiCKRAGE 9.3.54.dev1 through 10.0.11.dev1 allows remote attackers to steal session IDs via quicksearch. The quicksearch path obtained request data through BaseHandler.get_argument, which returned it without HTML sanitization before reflection. A victim must open attacker-controlled content; the injected script then runs in the victim's browser and enables session impersonation and actions permitted to that account.
