CAPEC-591DetailedStable
Reflected XSS
This type of attack is a form of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) where a malicious script is "reflected" off a vulnerable web application and then executed by a victim's browser. The process starts with an adversary delivering a malicious script to a victim and convincing the victim to send the script to the vulnerable web application.

CVE-2023-0776Baicells Nova 436Q, Nova 430E, Nova 430I, and Neutrino 430 LTE TDD eNodeB devices with firmware through QRTB 2.12.7 are vulnerable to remote shell code exploitation via HTTP command injections. Commands are executed using pre-login execution and executed with root permissions. The following methods below have been tested and validated by a 3rd party analyst and has been confirmed exploitable special thanks to Rustam Amin for providing the steps to reproduce.
CVE-2021-32671Flarum is a forum software for building communities. Flarum's translation system allowed for string inputs to be converted into HTML DOM nodes when rendered. This change was made after v0.1.0-beta.16 (our last beta before v1.0.0) and was not noticed or documented. This allowed for any user to type malicious HTML markup within certain user input fields and have this execute on client browsers. The example which led to the discovery of this vulnerability was in the forum search box. Entering faux-malicious HTML markup, such as <script>alert('test')</script> resulted in an alert box appearing on the forum. This attack could also be modified to perform AJAX requests on behalf of a user, possibly deleting discussions, modifying their settings or profile, or even modifying settings on the Admin panel if the attack was targetted towards a privileged user. All Flarum communities that run flarum v1.0.0 or v1.0.1 are impacted. The vulnerability has been fixed and published as flarum/core v1.0.2. All communities running Flarum v1.0 have to upgrade as soon as possible to v1.0.2.
CVE-2011-3046The extension subsystem in Google Chrome before 17.0.963.78 does not properly handle history navigation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging a "Universal XSS (UXSS)" issue.
CVE-2026-40472In hackage-server, user-controlled metadata from .cabal files are rendered into HTML
href attributes without proper sanitization, enabling stored
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
CVE-2026-40470A critical XSS vulnerability affected hackage-server and
hackage.haskell.org. HTML and JavaScript files provided in source
packages or via the documentation upload facility were served
as-is on the main hackage.haskell.org domain. As a consequence,
when a user with latent HTTP credentials browses to the package
pages or documentation uploaded by a malicious package maintainer,
their session can be hijacked to upload packages or
documentation, amend maintainers or other package metadata, or
perform any other action the user is authorised to do.
CVE-2025-59832Horilla is a free and open source Human Resource Management System (HRMS). Prior to version 1.4.0, there is a stored XSS vulnerability in the ticket comment editor. A low-privilege authenticated user could run arbitrary JavaScript in an admin’s browser, exfiltrate the admin’s cookies/CSRF token, and hijack their session. This issue has been patched in version 1.4.0.
CVE-2024-42515Glossarizer through 1.5.2 improperly tries to convert text into HTML. Even though the application itself escapes special characters (e.g., <>), the underlying library converts these encoded characters into legitimate HTML, thereby possibly causing stored XSS. Attackers can append a XSS payload to a word that has a corresponding glossary entry.
CVE-2023-30838PrestaShop is an Open Source e-commerce web application. Prior to versions 8.0.4 and 1.7.8.9, the `ValidateCore::isCleanHTML()` method of Prestashop misses hijackable events which can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) injection, allowed by the presence of pre-setup `@keyframes` methods. This XSS, which hijacks HTML attributes, can be triggered without any interaction by the visitor/administrator, which makes it as dangerous as a trivial XSS attack. Contrary to other attacks which target HTML attributes and are triggered without user interaction (such as onload / onerror which suffer from a very limited scope), this one can hijack every HTML element, which increases the danger due to a complete HTML elements scope. Versions 8.0.4 and 1.7.8.9 contain a fix for this issue.
CVE-2021-42940A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Projeqtor 9.3.1 via /projeqtor/tool/saveAttachment.php, which allows an attacker to upload a SVG file containing malicious JavaScript code.
CVE-2020-7741This affects the package hellojs before 1.18.6. The code get the param oauth_redirect from url and pass it to location.assign without any check and sanitisation. So we can simply pass some XSS payloads into the url param oauth_redirect, such as javascript:alert(1).
CVE-2026-29859An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in aaPanel v7.57.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted file.
CVE-2025-53599Whale browser for iOS before 3.9.1.4206 allow an attacker to execute malicious scripts in the browser via a crafted javascript scheme.
CVE-2025-53484User-controlled inputs are improperly escaped in:
*
VotePage.php (poll option input)
*
ResultPage::getPagesTab() and getErrorsTab() (user-controllable page names)
