CVE-2024-23818: GeoServer's WMS OpenLayers Format vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists that enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog that will execute in the context of another user’s browser when viewed in the WMS GetMap OpenLayers Output Format. Access to the WMS OpenLayers Format is available to all users by default although data and service security may limit users’ ability to trigger the XSS.
