Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from unescaped output of user-controlled data (blog post titles/tags) in the Blog Post Handler. The Full Disclosure PoC explicitly shows that malicious titles/tags are stored and rendered in multiple contexts (e.g., <title>, <h1>, href attributes). Functions handling persistence (save()
) and rendering (render()
) are the most likely candidates. While exact code isn't available, Elefant's MVC structure and the component's description strongly suggest these functions are involved in the insecure handling of user input.
