Technical details
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the Designer visual query builder history display functionality. The DesignerHistory.display() method concatenates unescaped MySQL table names into an HTML h3 element using innerHTML, while column names in the same block are properly escaped. An authenticated attacker with CREATE privilege can craft a table name containing HTML/JavaScript markup that persists in the history and executes when a higher-privileged user opens the Designer tool and adds a condition on that table.
