Stored script execution via unsanitized admin fields
Published Oct 22, 2024 · Updated Oct 22, 2024
Stored XSS in Collabtive 3.1 allows remote authenticated users with administrative access to execute script in another user's browser. The admin.php handlers for action=system and action=addcust store the name, company, and contact parameters without neutralizing HTML attribute input, then render the stored values so an autofocus/onfocus payload executes when an administrator views the affected page. Administrative access is required to save the payload, and another user's interaction is required; successful exploitation can read or modify data accessible to that browser session.
