Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored/reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the Grid and TreeList column-reorder drag clue feature. The component reparses header text as HTML without sanitization, allowing JavaScript injection via column field or title attributes. Exploitation requires user interaction (dragging a column header while reordering is enabled) and influence over column metadata, but can lead to session hijacking or data theft within the user's browser context.
