CVE-2024-41348Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unescaped search error output

Published Aug 29, 2024 · Updated Jan 26, 2026

Reflected XSS in php/alsearch.php in OpenFlights commit 5234b5b allows remote attackers to execute script through crafted POST data. The endpoint inserts the action value into a database-error response without HTML escaping; authenticated RECORD paths likewise print name or alias unescaped. The unauthenticated path requires a malformed offset to trigger the error, and execution requires a browser to render the response, exposing or modifying data available to that browser session.
