4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Open Source Point of Sale is a web based point-of-sale application written in PHP using CodeIgniter framework. Prior to 3.4.3, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Stock Locations configuration feature. The application fails to properly sanitize user input supplied through the stock_location parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code that is stored in the database and executed when rendered in the Employees interface. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.4.3.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in Open Source Point of Sale allows authenticated users to inject malicious JavaScript through the Stock Locations configuration feature, which executes when rendered in the Employees interface. Versions prior to 3.4.3 are affected. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and authenticated access (PR:L), limiting but not eliminating real-world risk in multi-user POS environments where administrative interfaces may be accessible to untrusted staff.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in the Stock Locations configuration module of Open Source Point of Sale, a PHP web application built on the CodeIgniter framework. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), specifically the failure to sanitize the stock_location parameter before storing it in the database. When this unsanitized input is later rendered in the Employees interface, the browser executes any embedded JavaScript. This is a classic stored XSS attack vector where untrusted data flows from user input through database storage to output without encoding, violating output encoding principles in web application security.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Open Source Point of Sale to version 3.4.3 or later, which resolves the input sanitization issue in the Stock Locations configuration feature. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement input validation and output encoding controls at the application layer to sanitize the stock_location parameter before database storage and HTML-encode all output in the Employees interface. Additionally, restrict access to the Stock Locations configuration feature to trusted administrative users only, reducing the attack surface to authenticated insiders.
