# Stored XSS via Structure entry title in table view ## Summary An Author-level control panel user can store a JavaScript payload in an entry title. When an admin, or any control panel user with `saveEntries` for the same Structure section, drags another entry under the poisoned entry in table view, the payload executes in the victim’s session. The issue is exploitable because the title is escaped into `data-title` by the server, decoded again by the browser, read with jQuery `.data('title')`, and then concatenated into a new HTML string without attribute escaping. Execution was verified with `alert(document.domain)`. Impact was verified against an elevated admin session by changing the admin user’s email through `users/save-user`, then using the password-reset flow to take over the account. ## Preconditions - Attacker has `createEntries` + `saveEntries` on a Structure-type section (Author-style CP account; no admin permission required). - Victim has `saveEntries` on the same section. Craft only renders drag handles when `structureEditable` is true, which requires this permission, so any admin qualifies. - Section must be type Structure. Channel and Single sections are unaffe

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
