CVE-2023-23756Network attack vector

Cross-site scripting via non-script HTML elements

Published Jul 11, 2023 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Cross-site scripting in OneVote! 1.7.0 allows remote attackers to alter browser-rendered content via non-script HTML elements. Joomla’s advisory identifies non-script HTML elements as the injection context but does not disclose the affected parameter, page, or rendering function. Exploitation is unauthenticated over the network but requires a victim to render the crafted content, exposing or modifying data in that browser session without interrupting service.
