Stored XSS via forged authenticated request
Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Mathieu Hays Simple Documentation 1.2.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to store script via a crafted request. The published advisory does not identify the affected request handler, input field, or missing nonce check; it states only that the forged action results in stored XSS. Exploitation requires an authenticated user to visit attacker-controlled content, after which the stored script executes when the affected content is viewed.
