Browser script execution via user argument
Published Dec 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Cross-site scripting in WebUtils.java in Xiandafu Beetl-BBS allows remote authenticated users to execute script through the user argument. Public records do not identify the affected WebUtils.java routine or explain how the argument reaches an HTML response without neutralization. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and a victim to load the affected page, enabling script execution in that user's browser context.
