CVE-2025-48495Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unsafe API-key name rendering

Published Jun 2, 2025 · Updated Jun 2, 2025

Stored XSS in Gokapi before 2.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser via a crafted API-key name. The API-key administration script writes the friendly name to table cells with innerHTML, causing stored markup to be parsed; the patch replaces those assignments with innerText. Exploitation requires multiple authenticated users and a victim who opens the attacker's API tab, enabling browser-context actions such as redirection or cryptomining.
