Description

An XSS vulnerability stored in Repox has been identified, which allows a local attacker to store a specially crafted JavaScript payload on the server, due to the lack of proper sanitisation of field elements, allowing the attacker to trigger the malicious payload when the application loads.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is changed, meaning a successful attack can affect components beyond the vulnerable one. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability none.
