CVE-2022-4966Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unsafe election-description HTML binding

Published Apr 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024

Stored cross-site scripting in Sequent Admin Console 6.1.0 through 6.1.7 allows remote authenticated users to run script via election descriptions. Election creation and listing templates render untrusted descriptions through ng-bind-html before backend sanitization, including draft values passed through htmlToText. Exploitation requires privileges to create or edit an election description and user interaction by an administrator who views it.
