Browser script execution via mismatched quote escaping
Published Dec 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Cross-site scripting in the JSON handler in RuoYi RuoYi-Cloud allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim's browser. HTMLFilter escapes an attribute's opening quote but not its closing quote, producing malformed JSON that leaves attacker-controlled markup executable. Exploitation requires crafted JSON and victim interaction; the disclosed consequence is browser-side data access or modification, not service interruption.
