Technical details
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in V2Board versions up to and including 1.7.4. The root cause is the use of unescaped Blade interpolation ({!! !!}) for the 'custom_html' field within the dashboard.blade.php template. An attacker with administrative privileges can use the saveThemeConfig API to inject arbitrary JavaScript. Because the payload is rendered on the dashboard, it executes in the context of any user (including other admins and site visitors) who views the page. This can lead to session hijacking via cookie theft or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim. The project is reportedly unmaintained, and no official patch is available; users are advised to manually switch to escaped output ({{ }}) in the affected Blade template.
