Reflected script execution via unneutralized request URL
Published Mar 1, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Reflected XSS in Apache Archiva 2.0.0 and later allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser via a crafted URL. Archiva reflects malicious characters from the request URL into a generated web page without neutralizing them, but Apache has not disclosed the responsible handler or template. Exploitation requires authenticated access and user interaction; script runs in the Archiva origin and can read or modify data available to the victim's browser.
