Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability description explicitly links the XSS flaw to functions handling SQL and script injection analysis. Given Dolibarr's architecture, these security validation functions in the core security class would be responsible for input sanitization. Their names and context suggest they failed to properly neutralize script elements while focusing on SQL injection prevention, creating an XSS vector through insufficient output encoding/validation in REST API processing. The critical severity and CWE-79 mapping strongly support this interpretation.
