Cookie theft via stored product-description script
Published Nov 15, 2023 · Updated Sep 29, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Grocy 4.0.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to steal victims' cookies through product descriptions. The product-description flow persists attacker-supplied markup associated with /api/stock/products and renders it as active browser script without effective neutralization. Low-privilege access is required to save the description, and a victim must view the affected content; execution remains within that victim's browser context.
