## Technical details

A stored XSS vulnerability in the TimePictra platform permits authenticated, low-privileged attackers to inject and persist malicious script content in the application. When another user subsequently accesses the affected page, the injected script executes in their browser context. The attack requires valid credentials but no elevated privileges, and the persistence nature means the payload remains in the system until manually removed.
