Description
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in reportico-web <= 8.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the web browser of a user by including a malicious payload in the reportico_criteria parameter in conjunction with the execute_mode=CRITERIA parameter of run.php.

AI Analysis

Impact

A reflected cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the Reportico Web application. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript in the reportico_criteria parameter used by run.php when execute_mode=CRITERIA. An attacker can trigger the flaw with a standard HTTP request, causing the malicious script to be reflected in the response and executed in the victim’s browser. Based on the description, it is inferred that such client‑side code execution could be used to deface the interface, harvest session information, or launch further attacks while the user remains authenticated.

Affected Systems

The Reportico Web application up to and including version 8.1.0 is vulnerable. No other vendors or product lines are documented in this CVE entry.

Risk and Exploitability

The issue is triggered by a publicly reachable HTTP request and does not require authentication, therefore an attacker can exploit it from any location. The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates a medium severity, and the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but reflected XSS can achieve significant impact when input is not properly sanitized.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Reportico Web to a version newer than 8.1.0
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, validate or sanitize the reportico_criteria parameter on the server side to strip scripts and encoded JavaScript
  • Configure a Content Security Policy that restricts script execution or deploy a web application firewall to filter reflected XSS
