Description
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the user profile text fields of Altium 365. Insufficient server-side input sanitization allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript payloads using whitespace-based attribute parsing bypass techniques.
The injected payload is persisted and executed when other users view the affected profile page, potentially allowing session token theft, phishing attacks, or malicious redirects. Exploitation requires an authenticated account and user interaction to view the crafted profile.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability resides in the user profile text fields of Altium Live. Insufficient server‑side sanitization allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript. When an impacted profile is viewed, the payload is executed in the victim’s browser, enabling session token theft, phishing, or malicious redirects. The weakness is a classic input validation flaw.

Affected Systems

Altium Live is the affected product, specifically version 1.2.2. The issue is present in the user profile editing functionality of Altium 365, requiring an authenticated user to supply malicious content.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.6 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, suggesting exploitation is unlikely but not impossible; it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation demands an authenticated account and a victim who visits the altered profile, so the attack vector is limited to social‑engineering or internal user interaction. The vulnerability’s impact is confined to the user’s browser context, but it can lead to credential compromise and further lateral movement.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official Altium Live patch that addresses the XSS flaw once released.
  • Configure a strict Content‑Security‑Policy that disallows inline scripts and limits script sources.
  • Enforce server‑side sanitization of profile text fields or restrict editing to trusted users.
