Browser script execution via backend-unvalidated employee name
Published Sep 25, 2024 · Updated Sep 25, 2024
Stored XSS in ZKTeco WDMS Pro 5.1.3 allows remote authenticated users to run scripts in another user's browser via Emp Name. The employee-edit form enforces its 40-character limit only in the browser, so an intercepted request stores unsanitized script content in EName. The attack requires another user to view the saved employee data; the script then runs in that user's browser context with access to data available to that session.
