CVE-2024-44793Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unencoded torrents reflection

Published Aug 26, 2024 · Updated Jul 5, 2026

Cross-site scripting in Gazelle Project Gazelle commit 63b3370 allows remote attackers to execute script in a victim's browser. The multiple_freeleech.php manager writes the POST torrents value directly inside a textarea without HTML encoding, so a closing tag escapes the field. Exploitation requires a victim to render the crafted response and gives the injected script that victim's Gazelle web-session context.
