| Title | Zavy86 WikiDocs 1.0.77 Cross Site Scripting |
|---|
| Description | Hi,
I'm a security researcher building my CVE portfolio. I found a reflected XSS on the WikiDocs home page.
WikiDocs fails to HTML-escape the path portion of inbound requests before echoing it back into the home page.
An attacker can craft a link that, when visited, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's session (reflected XSS).
Proof of concept
http://127.0.0.1/"><script>alert(42)</script>
http://127.0.0.1/%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E
Path input should be HTML-escaped (e.g., htmlspecialchars($path, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) so injected markup cannot run.
Application Setup:
docker run -d -p 80:80 zavy86/wikidocs
# public demo
https://demo.wikidocs.app/%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3E
