CVE-2023-50883Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Cross-site scripting via Function constructor sandbox escape

Published Sep 9, 2024 · Updated Sep 10, 2024

Cross-site scripting in ONLYOFFICE Docs before 8.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript through a malicious document macro. The macro sandbox wraps code as an immediately invoked function expression but leaves the Function constructor callable, enabling escape. Exploitation requires a user to open and run the crafted macro, after which code executes in the editor's browser context and can read or alter accessible data.
