FacturaScripts vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via Cookie Manipulation
Date: 2026-05
Affected: composer/facturascripts/facturascripts
Attack vector: xss
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: Low
CVE: CVE-2026-27964
CWE: CWE-79
CVSS: 3.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

### Summary A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the fsNick cookie parameter. The application reflects the cookie's value directly into the HTML without sanitization. ### Details The fsNick cookie is rendered into the DOM without encoding. While the server does reject the modified session and forces a logout, the HTML containing the payload reaches the browser first. This lets the script execute immediately upon load, effectively beating the redirect. ### PoC 1. Log in to the application with any valid account. <img width="2078" height="302" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d8a9a779-44e0-4a3e-839f-0a031868fbd5" /> 2. Capture any the GET request . <img width="1267" height="276" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/22e43f73-4f86-4cab-a074-7aba584a71ac" /> 3. Modify the value of "fsNick" with the following JavaScript: `<script>alert(window.origin)</script>` 4. Send the modified request. <img width="1569" height="319" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ade88db1-aadc-4c50-9e02-d09888067e98" /> 5.
