Administrator impersonation via reflected login redirect script
Published Oct 9, 2023 · Updated Sep 19, 2024
Reflected XSS in mooSocial 3.1.8 allows remote attackers to run script in an administrator's browser through a crafted login URL. The administrative login handler reflects the admin_redirect_url query value into its response without neutralizing injected HTML and script markup. Exploitation requires an administrator to open the crafted URL, after which the script can access the administrator's session context and impersonate that account.
