CVE-2023-30417Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unsanitized private-message titles

Published Apr 25, 2023 · Updated Feb 3, 2025

Stored XSS in Pear-Admin-Boot 2.0.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script through a private-message title. The message workflow stores the Title field and later renders it to a recipient without neutralizing embedded script markup. Sending a private message is required, and execution occurs when a recipient views it, enabling browser-context data access or actions.
