CVE-2022-0243Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored script execution via unencoded workflow titles

Published Jan 19, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Stored cross-site scripting in Orchard Core before 1.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute script through workflow titles. The workflow designer passes an Add Task/Event title into LocalizedHtmlString without encoding, so persisted markup is rendered as HTML when the workflow interface displays the activity. An authenticated user able to create or edit workflows must store the title, and another user must view the affected workflow page for the browser to execute it.
