Stored script execution via unsanitized project updates
Published Jan 26, 2026 · Updated Jan 26, 2026
Stored XSS in Worklenz 2.1.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser through project updates. The Project Updates text field stores attacker-supplied HTML, and the Reporting Projects view renders it without sanitization. A low-privileged account must save the payload and a victim must open the reporting view; execution is confined to that victim's browser session.
