CVE-2026-23880
📋 TL;DR
OnboardLite versions before commit 1d32081a66f21bcf41df1ecb672490b13f6e429f contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the admin dashboard. When an admin attempts to migrate a user's Discord account, the malicious script executes in the admin's browser context. This affects all users running vulnerable versions of OnboardLite.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker could steal admin session cookies, perform actions as the admin (like modifying user data or system settings), or redirect to phishing sites.
Likely Case
Attackers could hijack admin sessions to access sensitive user information or perform unauthorized administrative actions.
If Mitigated
With proper input validation and output encoding, the malicious script would be rendered harmless as text rather than executable code.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires the attacker to have some level of access to inject malicious payloads, and then an admin must trigger the vulnerable functionality.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Commit 1d32081a66f21bcf41df1ecb672490b13f6e429f
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/HackUCF/OnboardLite/security/advisories/GHSA-93w8-83cg-h89g
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Pull the latest code from the repository. 2. Ensure commit 1d32081a66f21bcf41df1ecb672490b13f6e429f is applied. 3. Restart the OnboardLite application.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable Discord Account Migration
allTemporarily disable the Discord account migration feature in the admin dashboard to prevent exploitation.
Implement Content Security Policy (CSP)
allAdd a strict Content Security Policy header to prevent execution of inline scripts.
Add 'Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'' to HTTP headers
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block XSS payloads in Discord migration requests.
- Restrict admin dashboard access to trusted IP addresses only.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if your OnboardLite installation includes commit 1d32081a66f21bcf41df1ecb672490b13f6e429f. If not, you are vulnerable.
Check Version:
git log --oneline | head -1
Verify Fix Applied:
After applying the patch, test the Discord account migration functionality with a benign XSS payload (e.g., <script>alert('test')</script>) to ensure it's properly sanitized.
📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual or malformed input in Discord migration API requests
