Detection Guidance

The vulnerability is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in DooTask version 1.6.27, specifically in the /manage/project/<id> endpoint within the projectDesc input field. Detection involves testing this input field for improper sanitization by injecting typical XSS payloads and observing if the scripts are stored and executed when the page is accessed.

There are no specific detection commands provided in the resources. However, manual testing can be performed by submitting payloads such as <script>alert(1)</script> in the projectDesc field and then accessing the page to see if the script executes.

Additionally, monitoring HTTP requests to the /manage/project/<id> endpoint and inspecting responses for unescaped user input can help identify the vulnerability.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include upgrading DooTask to a version later than 1.6.27 where the vulnerability is fixed, if available.

If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict access to the /manage/project/<id> page to trusted users only and sanitize or validate input on the projectDesc field to prevent script injection.

Backing up your data before applying any updates or changes is recommended.

Use the DooTask management commands to stop the service (`./cmd down`), apply updates (`./cmd update`), and restart the service (`./cmd up`) after mitigation steps.
