Arbitrary agent command execution via stored XSS
Published Oct 17, 2022 · Updated May 14, 2025
Stored XSS in MITRE CALDERA before 4.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands on enrolled agents. The Debrief writeGraph function concatenates app.contact.gist into HTML without sanitizing the attribute value. A low-privileged blue user must save a crafted value, and a red user must trigger it in Debrief; command execution is limited to agents in that user's operation.
