Cross-site scripting via crafted VIEWSTATE parameter
Published Sep 1, 2023 · Updated May 27, 2025
Cross-site scripting in TOTVS RM 12.1 Portal Login.aspx allows remote attackers to execute script via a crafted VIEWSTATE value. Login.aspx processes the value without effective request validation, causing attacker-controlled markup to execute in a user's browser. Exploitation requires user interaction and a non-default configuration with VIEWSTATE enabled; standard production configurations disable it.
