Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper input handling in Social Monitoring's title/name fields. The Controller action that processes form submissions (saveAction
) and the Entity setter method (setTitle
) that persists the data are critical points where input sanitization should occur. The Bishop Fox PoC demonstrates XSS execution via the monitoring[title] parameter, indicating these functions failed to validate()
/escape user-controlled input before storage. The stored payloads then render unsafely in dashboard widgets and contact views, enabling privilege escalation attacks.
