JIRA TICKET #32235

Summary:

This vulnerability allows unauthorized users to execute arbitrary scripts by submitting specially crafted form data.

Description:

The form submission process has a critical security flaw where malicious input can be injected into JavaScript code through HTTP header manipulation.

Affected Component:

Forms submitted via standard HTML POST method are susceptible to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

Possible Exploitation Method:

                // Example malicious request
                const payload = "javascript:alert('XSS');";
                fetch('/submit-form', {
                    method: 'POST',
                    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
                    body: JSON.stringify({ formData: payload })
                });

Suggested Mitigation:

Use HTTP header sanitization for all incoming form submissions
Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution
Validate and sanitize all user inputs before processing

Workarounds:

For immediate mitigation, manually sanitize any form data before sending to the server.
