Account compromise via unsanitized profile names
Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026
Stored XSS in user profile fields in Greek Universities Network Open eClass before 4.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript. The profile editor stores first- and last-name input without proper sanitization or output encoding, and profile views render that content as active markup. Student access is sufficient to plant a payload, but execution requires a teacher, administrator, or other permitted user to view the affected profile, exposing that viewer's session and account actions.
