CVE-2023-36488Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unneutralized table content

Published Jun 29, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Stored cross-site scripting in the table component in ILIAS 7.21 and 8.0_beta1 through 8.2 allows remote authenticated users to run script. The table component persists attacker-controlled content and later renders it without sufficient neutralization in another user's browser. Low-privileged access is required to save the content, and another user must view the affected table, enabling session-context data access or page actions.
