Cross-site scripting via unescaped username
Published Dec 17, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Opencaching Deutschland e.V. oc-server3 allows remote attackers to execute script via the username parameter on the login page. The htdocs/templates2/ocstyle/login.tpl template inserts the username directly into an HTML input value without escaping, allowing reflected script injection. Exploitation requires a victim to submit or load a crafted login request; the demonstrated impact is client-side script execution with limited integrity and no direct service outage.
