Instructor-session compromise via unsanitized HTML assignments
Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026
Stored XSS in Open eClass before 4.2 allows remote authenticated users to run script in an instructor's browser via an HTML assignment. The assignment uploader accepts HTML files containing active JavaScript without sanitizing or restricting that content before serving the submission. Student access and an instructor opening the uploaded file are required, exposing the instructor's session cookies and authorized actions.
