Hot Take:

Oh, Economizzer, you had one job – economize on vulnerabilities, not accumulate them! Looks like the only thing getting economized here is user safety. Who knew creating a simple category could lead to such a script-tastic disaster? Time to put the ‘fire’ back in ‘firewall’ and fix that code, folks!

Key Points:

  • Economizzer v.0.9-beta1 has a persistent XSS vulnerability.
  • Vulnerability occurs at the category creation endpoint.
  • Malicious JavaScript can be injected and stored permanently.
  • Users who view the affected entry are at risk.
  • Ron E disclosed this vulnerability via the Full Disclosure mailing list.
