Root Cause Analysis
The commit diff shows both functions were vulnerable due to: 1) Use of eval()
with unvalidated server responses (XSS payload vector), 2) innerHTML assignment instead of text-safe innerText. The vulnerability description explicitly mentions testftp
, but the identical pattern in testdb
was also patched. The XSS occurs because eval()
could execute arbitrary JS from server responses, and innerHTML would render HTML/JS content.
