Unauthenticated stored XSS via unescaped fingerprint
Published Mar 19, 2026 · Updated Mar 19, 2026
Stored XSS in VeronaLabs SlimStat Analytics 5.3.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through the fh parameter. The visitor tracker stores the insufficiently sanitized fingerprint value, and the Right Now administration view renders it without appropriate output escaping. No authentication is required to plant a payload; execution occurs when a user accesses the affected analytics view, exposing that browser session to attacker-controlled script actions.
