Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in OpenAtlas v8.9.0. It occurs because the application does not properly validate user input sent via a POST request to the "/insert/event" endpoint, specifically the "name" parameter. This flaw allows a remote attacker to craft malicious queries that, when sent to an authenticated user, can steal that user's session cookie details.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can impact you by allowing an attacker to steal your session cookies if you are an authenticated user of OpenAtlas v8.9.0. This could lead to unauthorized access to your account or actions performed on your behalf without your consent.
