Browser script execution via article editing endpoint
Published Mar 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Cross-site scripting in DedeCMS 5.7 allows remote attackers to execute script in another user's browser via /dede/article_edit.php. The public proof of concept supplies an img element with an onerror handler, but it does not identify the accepted parameter or server-side operation that leaves it executable. Exploitation requires another user to render the crafted output; successful execution exposes only data and actions available to that user's browser session.
