FKIE_CVE-2026-44667

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-26 18:16 - Updated: 2026-07-24 11:10
Severity
8.7 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N
Summary
FACTION is a PenTesting Report Generation and Collaboration Framework. Prior to 1.8.3, Faction is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) via attachment filenames in remediation verification file preview flows. User-supplied filename values are persisted and then rendered into HTML and attribute contexts without output encoding, allowing attacker-controlled JavaScript to execute in the browser of any user who opens the affected verification/remediation views. Because the payload is stored server-side and rendered to other users, exploitation is persistent and can impact privileged accounts. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.3.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 1.8.3, Faction es vulnerable a cross-site scripting (XSS) almacenado a trav\u00e9s de nombres de archivo adjuntos en flujos de vista previa de archivos de verificaci\u00f3n de remediaci\u00f3n. Los valores de nombre de archivo proporcionados por el usuario se persisten y luego se renderizan en contextos HTML y de atributos sin codificaci\u00f3n de salida, permitiendo que JavaScript controlado por el atacante se ejecute en el navegador de cualquier usuario que abre las vistas de verificaci\u00f3n/remediaci\u00f3n afectadas. Debido a que la carga \u00fatil se almacena en el lado del servidor y se renderiza a otros usuarios, la explotaci\u00f3n es persistente y puede impactar cuentas privilegiadas. Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versi\u00f3n 1.8.3."
