Higher exposureElevatedModerateLower exposureUnknown / unassessed

CVSS colors follow its reported severity. Attack-factor colors describe each requirement, not an overall risk rating. Gray also covers absence from KEV; absence does not establish safety.

EPSS display bands: below 1% blue, 1–10% amber, 10–50% orange, 50% and above red. These are presentation bands, not FIRST severity categories. The trend compares daily EPSS probabilities, not percentile ranks; “pp” means percentage points. The sparkline shows relative movement, with its vertical scale fitted to the observed scores.

Vulnerability 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.

  1. Maintain the observed Atomicorp protections. Keep your Atomicorp commercial rules current and confirm that the selected observed rules (333140 , 333141 , 340147 , 340148 , 341256 , 342259 , 346755 , 350147 , 350148 ) have not been locally disabled. Atomicorp commercial rules are enabled by default. If you use Atomic WAF, review the applicable policy and rule settings.

  2. Apply the vendor’s remediation. WAF protection is defense in depth and does not replace upgrading or following the affected vendor’s guidance.

    • Affected versions: ail project ail framework versions earlier than 7.1.
    • Recommended upgrade: Upgrade ail project ail framework to 7.1 or later.
    • CNA guidance source: CIRCL
    • Vendor recommendation: 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.

  3. Validate after changes. Confirm rule updates are current, review WAF events for the affected application, and test application behavior after vendor upgrades, mitigations, or local policy changes.

Research Notes

Atomicorp WAF protections are designed around attack techniques and exploit behaviors, allowing existing protections to apply across multiple vulnerabilities without requiring a unique rule for every CVE.

Research Note Context

This research note documents exploit-technique analysis associated with this vulnerability and references Atomicorp WAF protections observed during engineering review, testing, or validation activities.

Atomicorp security controls are generally designed to identify and mitigate attack techniques and exploit behaviors rather than individual CVE identifiers. As a result, protections developed for one vulnerability may also apply to related attack variants and future vulnerabilities using similar techniques.
