Cookie theft via unfiltered search rule injection
Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024
Reflected XSS in Ampache before 6.3.1 allows remote attackers to execute script in a logged-in user's browser through crafted search rules. The Search::to_js method concatenates rule array values directly into executable JavaScript without output encoding or validation. Exploitation requires a logged-in user to submit an attacker-controlled form, enabling page tampering and session-cookie theft.
