Stored XSS via unsanitized content
Published Dec 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 9, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Microweber before 1.3.2 allows remote attackers to execute script in a victim's browser via crafted content. The content parser and rendering path accepted attacker-controlled markup without effective XSS sanitization; the upstream fix adds XSS-cleaning and parser changes. Exploitation requires content to be stored and later viewed, allowing script execution in the victim's browser context with access bounded by that session.
