CVE-2023-3785Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Session hijacking via stored profile-field XSS

Published Jul 20, 2023 · Updated Oct 24, 2024

Stored XSS in CodePaul PaulPrinting CMS 2018 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via crafted profile fields. The registration and delivery modules store firstname, lastname, address, city, and state values and render them without neutralizing script code in account views and administrator listings. A low-privileged account can plant the payload, but execution requires a user or administrator to view the affected record; resulting script access can hijack a browser session or manipulate displayed content.
