CVE-2024-41347Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unescaped action parameter

Published Aug 29, 2024 · Updated Jan 26, 2026

Cross-site scripting in OpenFlights commit 5234b5b allows remote attackers to execute script in a user's browser via settings.php. The settings.php handler inserts the POST type parameter into its unknown-action response without HTML escaping. Exploitation requires user interaction with a crafted request and grants the resulting script access to browser-visible data and actions in the OpenFlights origin.
