Stored XSS via embedded PDF JavaScript
Published May 15, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Stored XSS in DooTask 0.30.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts when another user previews a crafted PDF. The file feature accepts a PDF containing an embedded JavaScript action and passes it to the online preview path without neutralizing the script. Exploitation requires a user to open the uploaded file, allowing script execution in that user's browser context and exposing session data or actions available to that user.
