Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
SurveyKing 1.13.0 through 1.13.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because the server accepts a respondent-supplied survey snapshot and the frontend renders its titles via innerHTML. Anonymous respondents can submit a forged snapshot embedding event handlers such as img onerror that execute in an administrator's browser session when the response is viewed.

Executive Summary

SurveyKing versions 1.13.0 to 1.13.2 have a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw. The server accepts survey snapshots from respondents, and the frontend renders their titles using innerHTML. Attackers can submit snapshots with malicious event handlers like img onerror, which execute when an administrator views the response.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect SurveyKing installations for versions 1.13.0 through 1.13.2. Check server logs for suspicious survey snapshots containing event handlers like img onerror. Manually review survey titles rendered via innerHTML for embedded scripts or malicious payloads.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of administrators, or deface the survey platform. Administrators viewing infected responses risk account compromise or unauthorized access to sensitive survey data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Organizations may face compliance penalties if breaches occur due to this flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately upgrade SurveyKing to a patched version beyond 1.13.2. If upgrading is not possible, disable the ability for anonymous users to submit survey snapshots. Implement input validation to sanitize survey titles and prevent XSS payloads. Monitor administrator sessions for unusual activity.
