Authenticated administrator takeover via unencoded history observations
Published Feb 2, 2026 · Updated Feb 2, 2026
Stored XSS in FacturaScripts 2025.71 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript when an administrator views History. The History view renders attacker-controlled Observations data without HTML entity encoding, so a saved event-handler payload executes in the administrator's browser session. A regular user needs note-editing permission and an administrator must open the affected record's History tab; the demonstrated consequence is administrator account takeover through a forged password-change request.
