Stored script execution via accepted JavaScript URL
Published Dec 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Stored XSS in Click Studios Passwordstate before build 9653 allows remote authenticated users to execute script through a saved URL. URL validation accepts the JavaScript protocol, while the interface largely hides the stored target before opening it. Exploitation requires a malicious password entry and a victim click; script runs in the Passwordstate origin with the victim's permitted access.
