Account takeover via unsanitized login-name storage
Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Stored XSS in Italtel i-MCS-NFV 12.1.0-20211215 allows remote attackers to execute scripts through a crafted login POST. The /IMCSCI-WebGui/j_security_check endpoint stores the unsanitized j_username value in authentication-failure logs and displays it in a home-page alert. No authentication is required to plant the payload, but an authenticated user must log in to trigger it, enabling critical-data access or account takeover.
