Browser script execution via namespace-injected XML
Published Apr 6, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site scripting in XML responses in Composr 10.0.36 allows remote attackers to execute script in a user's browser via a crafted URL. The ajax_tree_script response reflects the crafted default parameter in XML without a restrictive content security policy, permitting namespace-injected XHTML script execution. A victim must open the attacker-supplied URL; the resulting script runs in the site's origin and can access or alter browser-visible site data.
