Executive Summary

This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to store specially crafted values in multiple field types within the affected application. When another user opens the affected document in Desk, these stored values can trigger the execution of client-side scripts.

The root cause is that the vulnerable formatter implementations insert stored values directly into raw HTML attributes and element content without properly escaping them, leading to potential script execution.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to client-side script execution when a user opens a document containing the crafted values. This could allow attackers to perform actions such as stealing user session data, executing malicious scripts in the context of the victim's browser, or manipulating the user interface.
