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 | Requires an authenticated Aureus ERP account (before v1.6.0) that is permitted to edit at least one tracked text field whose changes are recorded in the Chatter field-change log; the attacker stores markup in old_value/new_value via the vulnerable content-text-entry.blade.php rendering path. Exploitation is LIMITED by: (1) prior authentication and edit privilege on tracked fields (PR:L), and (2) required victim interaction (UI:P) - another user, ideally an administrator, must open the affected record's Chatter panel for the stored payload to execute. This is effectively a stored/privilege-escalation XSS scenario within a multi-user deployment, not an unauthenticated internet-facing attack. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but moderate-risk stored XSS confirmed at the source-code level: the patch diff shows Laravel Blade templates rendering $change['old_value']/$change['new_value'] via the unescaped {!! !!} directive (and unescaped concatenation in ChatterNotificationService), fixed by switching to escaped {{ }} output plus e(). The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N with subsequent SC:L/SI:L) is consistent with the description and I concur - this is not a high-severity issue. Key limiting signals: PR:L means the injector must be an authenticated user already permitted to edit tracked text fields, and UI:P means a victim must actually open the affected record's Chatter panel; impact is capped at VC:L/VI:L (session/UI-level script execution, no direct system compromise). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no SSVC decision data were provided, so there is no evidence of active or automatable exploitation. A public technical write-up/POC exists (hackmd @leediay) and VulnCheck published an advisory, which raises the practical likelihood of opportunistic abuse but does NOT equal active exploitation. Net: prioritize as a normal patch (a fixed release exists), not an emergency - the real risk is a privilege-escalation-style attack where a lower-privileged internal user plants script that fires in an administrator's browser. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged but authenticated Aureus ERP user edits a tracked text field (e.g., a record name or description) and enters malicious HTML/JavaScript as the new value. Because the Chatter field-change log renders old_value/new_value without escaping, the payload is stored and later executes in the browser of any user - including an administrator - who opens that record's Chatter panel, enabling session/action abuse in the victim's context. A public write-up describing the flaw exists (hackmd @leediay) alongside a VulnCheck advisory. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 21, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Aureus ERP versions before 1.6.0 allows an authenticated user who can edit at least one tracked text field to persist malicious markup inside the Chatter field-change log, which executes in the browser of any other user - including an administrator - who opens the affected record's Chatter panel. The vulnerability is rooted in Laravel Blade templates that render the change log's old_value and new_value entries with the unescaped {!! !!} directive rather than escaped {{ }} output, and it has been confirmed at the source-code level by the vendor's fix commit. Vendor-released patch: 1.6.0; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a public technical writeup of the issue exists. Risk is moderate (CVSS 4.0 base 5.1; independent assessment CVSS 3.1 5.1 with S:C) because exploitation requires prior authentication plus victim interaction, but the stored nature and administrator-targeting potential make it a credible privilege-escalation vector inside multi-user deployments.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Aureus ERP 1.6.0 or later, which is the vendor-released patch for this issue; deployments pinned to an earlier release should apply the upstream fix commit 57cf5cf4c98d82a0ad89003402f27823fbe1e27c or merge pull request https://github.com/aureuserp/aureuserp/pull/1465, both of which replace the unescaped {!! !!} Blade output with escaped {{ }} interpolation and add e() escaping in ChatterNotificationService::summarizeChanges(). If upgrading immediately is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to restrict who can edit Chatter-tracked text fields - since the attacker must hold edit rights on at least one tracked field (PR:L), tightening that permission set to trusted roles removes the injection precondition, at the cost of limiting normal record-editing workflows for those users. A strict Content-Security-Policy that disallows inline and untrusted script sources on the Filament admin area provides secondary defense by preventing injected markup from executing, but this requires careful tuning against Filament's own asset loading and can break UI components if applied aggressively. Disabling the Chatter field-change log entirely (or disabling field tracking on sensitive records) removes the rendering path but eliminates the audit trail that many compliance workflows depend on. Because this is a stored issue, any payloads already written to old_value/new_value before patching will remain in the database and must be reviewed and sanitized after remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Aureus ERP is a Laravel-based enterprise resource planning application that uses Filament for its administrative UI and bundles a Chatter plugin (plugins/webkul/chatter) to provide an activity/audit stream on records. When a user edits a tracked text field, the framework records the previous and new values and renders them in the Chatter panel through the Blade view plugins/webkul/chatter/resources/views/filament/infolists/components/messages/content-text-entry.blade.php. The vulnerable code emitted those values with the raw-output directive {!! ... !!}, and the backend service ChatterNotificationService::summarizeChanges() concatenated the values unescaped when building notification rows. Because Blade's {!! !!} bypasses HTML entity encoding, attacker-controlled markup in old_value/new_value is written verbatim into the DOM, satisfying CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) in its stored/persistent form. The vendor fix (commit 57cf5cf4c98d82a0ad89003402f27823fbe1e27c, PR #1465) changes the two Blade interpolations to escaped {{ }} output and wraps the concatenated notification segments in Laravel's e() helper, closing both rendering paths. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:aureuserp:aureuserp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (all releases prior to 1.6.0).

DescriptionCVE.org
Aureus ERP before 1.6.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Chatter field-change log where old_value and new_value entries are rendered without proper escaping. Any user permitted to edit tracked text fields can inject malicious markup that executes when other users, including administrators, view the record's Chatter panel.
