MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to (1) hold valid authenticated credentials to the SysReptor web UI with permission to upload files, and (2) a separate logged-in victim must subsequently view the content where the malicious JavaScript file is rendered/served, triggering execution in the victim's browser (UI:R). The payload is delivered specifically via the file-upload feature of the web UI. Limiting factors: this is NOT remote-unauthenticated - PR:L means an account is mandatory - and the user-interaction requirement means no impact occurs until a victim opens the stored content, so the realistic threat is privilege escalation or session theft against other application users rather than direct server compromise. Confidentiality/integrity impact is limited (C:L/I:L) and there is no availability impact. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely moderate, not high, priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 (vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) tells a consistent story: network-reachable but requiring an authenticated user (PR:L) to upload a malicious JavaScript file and a victim to view it (UI:R), yielding limited confidentiality and integrity impact with a scope change (S:C) because the injected script executes in another logged-in user's browser context. All exploitation signals point low: EPSS is 0.04% (13th percentile), the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation. No SSVC decision data was supplied. The signals do not conflict: a stored XSS requiring valid authentication plus victim interaction, in a niche pentest-reporting tool, is a real but bounded issue best handled through routine patching rather than emergency response. The primary escalation concern is privilege escalation within the application - e.g., a lower-privileged user coercing an administrator's session. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated SysReptor user (e.g., a junior tester or a compromised low-privilege account) uploads a file containing malicious JavaScript through the web UI. When another logged-in user - such as a project lead or administrator - views the content, the stored script executes in their browser session, enabling session/token theft or actions performed as the victim. No public proof-of-concept is referenced, and exploitation depends on the attacker already holding valid credentials. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Oct 18, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in SysReptor prior to 2025.102 allows an authenticated user with file-upload permissions to plant malicious JavaScript that executes in the browser of any other logged-in user who later views the affected content - enabling session or credential theft and actions performed under the victim's identity. Exploitation is not remote-unauthenticated: it requires a valid account plus a separate victim who interacts with the stored payload (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, 5.4). There is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code, and EPSS is very low at 0.04% (13th percentile), so this is a moderate-priority issue centered on lateral movement and privilege escalation between application users rather than server compromise.

RemediationAI
Upgrade SysReptor to 2025.102 or later - the vendor-released patch that resolves this stored XSS - following the instructions in advisory GHSA-64vw-v5c4-mgvm (https://github.com/Syslifters/sysreptor/security/advisories/GHSA-64vw-v5c4-mgvm); because uploaded payloads persist, treat any content uploaded before the upgrade as untrusted and review or purge suspicious files in existing projects. Where immediate upgrading is not possible, compensating controls include restricting file-upload and project-edit permissions to a small trusted group (trade-off: reduced collaboration, and it does not stop a malicious insider), serving user-supplied files with Content-Disposition: attachment plus X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff so browsers download rather than render them (trade-off: breaks inline preview of uploaded assets), deploying a Content-Security-Policy that forbids inline script and restricts script-src to first-party bundles (trade-off: may break legitimate UI features and requires testing), and hosting user-generated content on a separate origin or sandbox domain so any executed script cannot reach authenticated session material (trade-off: additional infrastructure and cookie-scoping changes).

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), specifically the stored variant: SysReptor's web UI accepts uploaded JavaScript files without sufficient sanitization, escaping, or safe content-type handling, so the payload persists server-side and is replayed to other users. Because the injected script executes in the origin of the reporting platform, the CVSS scope is Changed (S:C) - the attacker's code runs with the trust of the victim's session rather than the attacker's own - while confidentiality and integrity impact remain limited (C:L/I:L) and availability is unaffected (A:N). The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:syslifters:sysreptor:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is version-wildcarded; EUVD enumerates the concrete range as sysreptor < 2025.102.

Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionNVD
SysReptor is a fully customizable pentest reporting platform. Prior to 2025.102, there is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows authenticated users to execute malicious JavaScript in the context of other logged-in users by uploading malicious JavaScript files in the web UI. This vulnerability is fixed in 2025.102.
Executive ViewAI
SysReptor versions prior to 2025.102 contain a stored XSS vulnerability that allows authenticated users to inject malicious JavaScript affecting other users of the pentest reporting platform, potentially compromising report integrity and user sessions. Organizations using SysReptor for security assessments should prioritize immediate patching to prevent insider threats and data exfiltration through report manipulation.
Apply vendor patch. Interim mitigations pending patch deployment: restrict file upload functionality to administrators only; implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers with script-src directive limiting script execution; disable JavaScript execution in uploaded files through web server configuration; monitor and audit all file uploads by authenticated users.
