Pre-auth JavaScript execution via unsanitized title 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 modifyAeTitle URL. Pacs/modifyAeTitle.php passes the attacker-controlled title query value to an error-message printf call, which writes it into HTML without sanitization. The endpoint is reachable before authentication, but execution requires a user to open the crafted URL; the script runs in the PACS site's browser context.
