Stored script execution via unescaped project descriptions
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Stored XSS in DooTask 1.6.27 allows remote attackers to execute scripts in another user's browser through a crafted project description. The projectDesc field on /manage/project/ is stored without adequate sanitization or output escaping and later rendered as executable content. Exploitation requires a user to view the affected project page, exposing that browser session to script-driven data access or actions.
