NT SYSTEM code execution via stored log XSS
Published Feb 10, 2023 · Updated Mar 24, 2025
Stored XSS in Provide Server 14.4 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser through a crafted login username. The login handler stores the username in the server log without neutralizing HTML or script content before the log viewer renders it. No authentication is required to plant the payload, but an administrator must view the log; the published chain then abuses an exposed CSRF token to create an NT SYSTEM task.
