Stored script execution via unescaped macro content
Published Nov 4, 2022 · Updated May 2, 2025
Stored XSS in Stiltsoft Handy Macros for Confluence Server/Data Center before 3.5.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary script. The Handy Tip macro stores user-controlled macro content without validating or escaping it, then renders the content when another user opens the page. Page-edit permission is required, and viewing the crafted page executes the payload in the viewer's browser context, enabling actions with that viewer's privileges.
