CVE-2024-46081
📋 TL;DR
Scriptcase v9.10.023 and earlier versions contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the To-Do List feature. Authenticated users can inject malicious scripts into tasks, which execute when assigned users view those tasks. This affects all organizations using vulnerable Scriptcase versions for task management.

📦 What is this software?
Scriptcase by Scriptcase
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker could steal session cookies, perform actions as other users, redirect to malicious sites, or install malware on user systems through browser exploitation.
Likely Case
Attackers with authenticated access could hijack other users' sessions, steal sensitive data, or perform unauthorized actions within the application.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and output encoding, the XSS payloads would be neutralized, preventing script execution while maintaining task functionality.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access. The vulnerability is publicly documented with proof-of-concept examples available.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v9.10.024 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://blog.hawktesters.com/zero-day-alert-scriptcase-vulnerabilities-xss/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your Scriptcase installation and database. 2. Download the latest version from the official Scriptcase website. 3. Follow the Scriptcase upgrade documentation to apply the update. 4. Restart the web server and verify the update was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable To-Do List Feature
allTemporarily disable the vulnerable To-Do List functionality until patching is complete.
# Modify Scriptcase configuration to disable To-Do List module
# Consult Scriptcase documentation for specific module disabling procedures
Implement WAF Rules
allConfigure web application firewall rules to block XSS payloads in task assignments.
# Example ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS "<script" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'XSS Attack Detected'"
# Adjust based on your specific WAF solution
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict input validation and output encoding for all user-controllable fields in the To-Do List module.
- Apply the principle of least privilege by limiting which users can create or modify tasks in the system.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Scriptcase version in administration panel. If version is 9.10.023 or earlier, the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
# Check Scriptcase version via admin interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
After updating, verify the version shows 9.10.024 or later. Test by attempting to inject basic XSS payloads (<script>alert('test')</script>) into To-Do List tasks to confirm they are properly sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual task creation/modification patterns
- Multiple failed XSS attempts in web server logs
- Suspicious script tags in task content logs
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing script tags in task-related parameters
- Unusual outbound connections from user browsers after viewing tasks
SIEM Query:
source="web_server_logs" AND ("<script" OR "javascript:" OR "onerror=" OR "onload=") AND uri="*/todo*"
