Browser script execution via unescaped Referer header
Published Sep 25, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Reflected self-XSS in Saturday Drive Ninja Forms 3.8.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts via a crafted Referer header. The maintenance-mode response inserts the request's Referer value into generated HTML without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. The form must briefly enter maintenance mode during a required update, and a targeted user must be induced to issue the request; script execution occurs in that user's browser under the site's origin.
