XenForo before 2.3.13 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the dynamic redirect handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the board origin by crafting a malicious javascript: URI that bypasses host validation. Attackers can embed the board hostname in the URI authority component and use percent-encoded newlines to evade server-side filters, causing authenticated users who perform a Follow action to execute attacker-supplied JavaScript in their browser.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting in XenForo's dynamic redirect handler allows unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the board origin against authenticated users. The attack abuses a URI parsing confusion flaw: crafting a javascript: URI with the legitimate board hostname embedded in the authority component and percent-encoded newlines (%0a) to evade server-side host validation filters. …
