Authenticated script execution via unescaped operation parameter
Published Aug 29, 2024 · Updated Jan 26, 2026
Cross-site scripting in OpenFlights commit 5234b5b allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a browser via a crafted param field. The default branch of php/submit.php concatenates the POST-supplied param value into an Unknown operation response without HTML encoding. An active session is required to reach the endpoint, and a victim must render the crafted response; exploitation exposes or alters browser-accessible data.
