Impact

Mettle SendPortal versions 3.0.1 and earlier contain a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the template management feature. The application fails to sanitize input in the content field of the /templates endpoint, allowing an attacker to embed malicious JavaScript that is permanently stored. When a user loads the affected template in their browser, the injected script executes in the victim’s context, enabling any client‑side actions the attacker chooses.

Affected Systems

Mettle SendPortal version 3.0.1 and all earlier releases are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack method involves an adversary creating or editing a template using the unsanitized content field; if a target user views the template, the injected JavaScript runs in their browser, allowing arbitrary client‑side script execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the newest Mettle SendPortal release that includes sanitization for the template content field.
  • Limit template creation and editing to trusted administrators to reduce exposure to malicious input.
  • Implement a strict Content Security Policy that blocks inline scripts and only allows scripts from trusted sources.
