Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in QianFox FoxCMS up to version 1.2.6. The vulnerability is located in the Administrator Backend within the /Tag/edit file (and related components like Tag Group, Hotword Group, and Custom Hotword). The root cause is a failure to perform server-side input validation and output encoding; while frontend length restrictions exist, they can be bypassed by modifying request parameters. An authenticated attacker with high privileges can submit malicious HTML or JavaScript payloads (e.g., via 'onerror' or 'onfocus' attributes) that are stored in the database and executed when the content is rendered. As of the advisory date, the project has not responded to the issue report.
