Script execution via unescaped username reflection
Published Jul 6, 2023 · Updated Nov 20, 2024
Reflected XSS in ChatEngine 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute script in a user's browser by submitting a crafted username to the login form. LoginServlet reads the username parameter and writes it directly into an HTML heading without output encoding or sanitization. Exploitation requires a user to submit the crafted login request; the script then runs in that user's ChatEngine origin.
