- GHSA-3fm2-xfq7-7778HAXcms Has Stored XSS Vulnerability that May Lead to Account Takeover2026-01-13ghsa · osvUS
### Summary Stored XSS Leading to Account Takeover ### Details The Exploit Chain: 1.Upload: The attacker uploads an `.html` file containing a JavaScript payload. 2.Execution: A logged-in administrator is tricked into visiting the URL of this uploaded file. 3.Token Refresh: The JavaScript payload makes a `fetch` request to the `/system/api/refreshAccessToken` endpoint. Because the administrator is logged in, their browser automatically attaches the `haxcms_refresh_token` cookie to this request. 4.JWT Theft: The server validates the refresh token and responds with a new, valid JWT access token in the JSON response. 5.Exfiltration: The JavaScript captures this new JWT from the response and sends it to an attacker-controlled server. 6.Account Takeover: The attacker now possesses a valid administrator JWT and can take full control of the application.
