Email content manipulation via stored account name
Published Dec 19, 2022 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Stored HTML injection in Softr 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to inject markup through the Account page's Name field. The profile update stores the Name value without neutralizing HTML, and email generation inserts that stored value into password-reset or promotional messages. An attacker needs a Softr account and a recipient must view a generated email; the demonstrated consequence is attacker-controlled HTML rendering in email.
