Pre-authentication script execution via unsanitized seq reflection
Published Jan 20, 2026 · Updated Jan 20, 2026
Reflected XSS in MedDream PACS Premium 7.3.6.870 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript through a crafted downloadZip URL. Pacs/downloadZip.php reads the seq query parameter and inserts it unsanitized into an HTML error message when no matching session entry exists. No authentication is required, but a user must follow the crafted link; the script then runs in the affected site's browser context and can read or alter session-accessible data.
