Error description

  • A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack occurs when an attacker
    uses a web
    application to inject malicious code in the form of a client
    side
    script   arbitrary JavaScript   to an end user.
    
    ONE EXAMPLE OF MANY THROUGHOUT THE APPLICAITON:
    
    Attack value: <img src='x' onerror='alert("7")'>
    
    Reproduction steps:
    1. Login into application
    2. Navigate to "My Reports" tab
    3. Click on "New" button
    4. Apply the attack value in "Header (Title)" textbox
    5. Fill other required details and click on "Save" button
    6. Click on "Run Report" button
    
    Again, this specific case is only with "My Reports" - we've
    replicated
    this issue in many locations throughout the entire site.
