Browser script execution via unescaped search text
Published Mar 30, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site scripting in QingScan 1.3.0 search functions allows remote attackers to execute script in a user's browser via crafted search text. The search handlers reflect attacker-controlled text into HTML without neutralizing quotes, so an injected onclick attribute runs when the rendered element is activated. Exploitation requires a user to interact with the injected page element, and the demonstrated effect is browser-context script execution rather than server-side code execution.
