Script execution via unescaped view attribute
Published Aug 26, 2024 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Reflected XSS in Gazelle commit 63b3370 allows remote attackers to run scripts in a manager's browser through the view parameter. The manager request page writes raw $_GET['view'] data into a hidden input value without HTML attribute encoding. Execution requires a manager to open the crafted request, enabling script actions in that user's Gazelle session.
