Description
The AIL Framework crawler splash domain page (showDomain.html) is vulnerable to stored cross-site script injection (XSS). User-supplied data originating from imported crawler captures—specifically item IDs, URLs, and screenshot file paths—was interpolated directly into inline JavaScript contexts within the HTML template. This included an onclick attribute that embedded raw screenshot and URL values into a JavaScript function call, and an inline script block that assigned a screenshot value to a JavaScript variable without escaping. An attacker with a user-role API client could craft a malicious crawler capture import containing JavaScript payloads in these fields. When any user (including privileged users) subsequently viewed the affected domain page, the injected script would execute in the victim's browser context, potentially allowing session hijacking, data exfiltration, or unauthorized actions on behalf of the victim. The vulnerability is stored in the application's data layer and triggered upon page rendering, requiring no further interaction beyond loading the domain view.

AI Analysis

Impact

The AIL Framework was found to store attacker‑controlled data from crawler capture imports—item IDs, URLs and screenshot paths—directly into inline JavaScript on the showDomain page. This allows an attacker with write access to the API to embed arbitrary script in these fields. When a user loads the domain view, the script runs in the browser context, giving the attacker the ability to hijack the victim's session, exfiltrate data or perform unauthorized actions. The flaw is a stored XSS (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

The affected product is the AIL Framework developed by ail project. The vulnerability appears in the showDomain.html page. No specific version numbers are listed, so any release containing the vulnerable rendering logic that has not applied the listed fix is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.3, indicating a moderate severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that an attacker first import a malicious capture via the API, which is a remote privilege that can be granted to users with a user‑role client. After the import, no further interaction is needed; any user who views the domain page will trigger the injected script. Use of the public API for imports is the primary attack vector.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

The fix removes all capture-derived values (item IDs, URLs, screenshot paths) from inline JavaScript contexts (onclick attributes and inline script variable assignments). These values are now stored in HTML data attributes (data-screenshot, data-url, data-item-id), which are properly HTML-escaped by the Jinja2 template engine. Screenshot click handlers are bound programmatically via addEventListener on elements with a .reload-image class, and the reload_image function reads values from the DOM element's dataset rather than receiving raw string parameters. Additionally, item IDs are URL-encoded with encodeURIComponent before being appended to link hrefs, preventing injection through the ID field.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the vendor patch that sanitizes capture data before rendering inline JavaScript and stores it in properly escaped data attributes
  • Verify that all item IDs appended to URLs are URL‑encoded and that no raw data is inserted into script contexts
  • Limit API client permissions so that only trusted administrators can perform crawler capture imports, or enforce strict input validation to reject malicious script payloads
