Authenticated script execution via unescaped error parameter
Published Sep 20, 2021 · Updated Mar 31, 2025
Reflected XSS in eID Easy 4.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through the error parameter in admin.php. The administrative page writes the request's error value into HTML without output encoding, causing a crafted value to execute in a visiting user's browser. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction; successful script execution can read or alter data available to the victim's browser session.
