Published May 11, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2025
Stored XSS in ContiNew Admin 3.0 through 3.6.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through uploaded HTML files. The /dev-api/common/file endpoint accepts a text/html file containing script code and returns a retrievable path without rejecting active HTML content. Exploitation requires a valid bearer token and a user to visit the stored file, enabling phishing or access to script-readable session data.
