projectSend r1605 – Stored XSS

The projectSend application version r1605 is vulnerable to a stored XSS attack. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious JavaScript code in the Custom Html/Css/Js section. This code will be executed whenever a user visits the affected page, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data theft.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user input and validate any content added in the Custom Html/Css/Js section. Additionally, implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) can help prevent the execution of injected scripts.
