Stored XSS via unencoded form values
Published Jun 15, 2025 · Updated Jun 16, 2025
Stored XSS in Crafty Controller allows remote authenticated users to steal session cookies through malicious server-name input. Server names and API key names are stored and later rendered as executable HTML or JavaScript instead of being safely encoded for their output context. Exploitation requires form access and subsequent dashboard interaction; server-creation permission can expose another user, while an API-key name can be self-exploitable when keys are not shared.
