Reflected XSS via unescaped date field values
Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Reflected XSS in woylie Doggo 0.1.0 through 0.14.7 allows remote attackers to inject HTML through crafted date field values. Doggo.normalize_value/2 in lib/doggo.ex marks the first ten bytes of a date value as already safe, so Phoenix emits them unescaped into an input value attribute. Exploitation requires an application to render a date field from user-controlled parameters after failed validation and a victim to load the reflected response; the ten-byte limit permits attribute termination and short markup or event handlers but not attacker-chosen inline script.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0.1.0 <0.14.8
- Affected versionversion=ae65fed72982ec97f95af931686c627b19c2b58d <0161c976a114a4a4faee22d599b3fd5f147fc443
