Stored XSS via unsanitized message and task titles
Published Oct 22, 2024 · Updated Mar 25, 2025
Stored cross-site scripting in Collabtive 3.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts in other users' browsers via title fields. The message-add and task-edit handlers accept the title parameter without neutralizing attribute-breaking input, store it, and render it in later project views. Exploitation requires a login and an existing project, and the payload runs when another user views the affected message or task.
