Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in SeaCMS versions prior to 13.2. The flaw is located in the 'vid' parameter within the '/Upload/js/player/dmplayer/player' route. The application fails to properly sanitize this parameter before including it in the web page generation, allowing an attacker to break out of the existing JavaScript context using closing tags (e.g., " > } </script>). An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL and social engineering an authenticated user into visiting it. Successful exploitation allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript, which can be used for session hijacking or defacement. A fix is available in version 13.2 and later.
