Browser-side code execution via unescaped feature names
Published May 11, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Cross-site scripting in FetLife rollout-ui before 0.5.3 allows remote attackers to run browser-side code through a crafted feature URL. The URL-derived feature name is interpolated without HTML escaping into JavaScript confirmation dialogs for feature actions, including deletion. A user must open the crafted feature page and click Delete, after which the injected script runs in that user's browser context.
