Browser script execution via unescaped search query
Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 9, 2025
Reflected XSS in the /search endpoint of Mtons Mblog 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript through the kw parameter. The search handler places the kw query value into the returned page without escaping HTML event-handler attributes such as onerror. A browser must render a crafted search response; the proof of concept does not establish cross-user delivery, and VulDB scores low privileges.
