Technical details
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in gpt-researcher versions up to 3.4.3. The flaw is located in the WebSocket interface within the gpt_researcher/skills/researcher.py file, where the 'task' argument is processed without sufficient input sanitization. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious task name containing script tags, which are then executed in the context of the victim's browser. This requires user interaction, typically via a social engineering vector. As of the advisory date, the project has been notified but a formal patch has not been confirmed.
