Session compromise via unescaped joborderID reflection
Published Oct 19, 2022 · Updated Sep 15, 2025
Reflected XSS in OpenCATS 0.9.6 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a user's browser through a crafted joborderID value. The getPipelineJobOrder handler in ajax.php returns the joborderID parameter in an HTML response without neutralizing script markup. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted request, allowing script execution in the OpenCATS origin and compromise of the user's session.
