Authenticated XSS via unescaped customblock_place interpolation
Published Oct 26, 2023 · Updated Jun 12, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Flusity CMS allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a dashboard user's browser via a crafted URL. The Dashboard's core/tools/customblock.php inserts customblock_place directly into a quoted loadCustomBlocCreateForm JavaScript call without escaping. Backend authentication and dashboard-user interaction are required; injected script runs in that user's browser under the site's origin.
