CVE-2021-26947Network attack vector

Browser script execution via polluted template context

Published Apr 25, 2023 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Odoo Community and Enterprise 15.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to run script via crafted links. The web login and signup controllers copied every request parameter into the QWeb rendering context instead of accepting only expected fields. A victim must open the forged link; injected script then runs in that victim's browser context and can access data available to the session.
