Reflected XSS via unencoded closeClass attribute
Published Mar 8, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Reflected XSS in phpIPAM 1.6 allows remote attackers to execute script in a user’s browser via the closeClass parameter. The popup template prints the closeClass request value directly into a button class attribute without HTML encoding, allowing markup to escape the attribute. A user must open a crafted popup URL; injected script then runs in that user’s phpIPAM browser context, enabling session-scoped data access or actions.
