CVE-2026-100176 Details
Description
The AIL Framework's username timeline feature is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). Usernames imported from chats and crawled forums are stored without character restrictions. When an authenticated analyst views the username timeline, the application renders these stored usernames into the DOM using D3's html() method in the tooltip. Because the username value (d.obj) is interpolated directly into an HTML string without sanitization, a crafted username containing HTML event handlers (e.g., <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>) will execute arbitrary JavaScript in the analyst's browser when the analyst hovers over the corresponding timeline entry. The attack requires the victim to be an authenticated analyst with access to the timeline view and to interact with the malicious timeline entry (hover). Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, data exfiltration, or unauthorized actions performed within the analyst's authenticated session. The vulnerability resides in the client-side JavaScript file var/www/static/js/d3/timeline_basic.js.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the AIL Framework's username timeline feature. This issue arises because usernames imported from chats and crawled forums are saved without any character restrictions. When an authenticated analyst views the username timeline, the application uses D3's html() method to render these usernames into the DOM. Since the username values are directly interpolated into an HTML string without proper sanitization, a malicious username containing HTML event handlers could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the analyst's browser. The vulnerability requires the analyst to hover over the affected timeline entry, potentially leading to session hijacking, data exfiltration, or unauthorized actions within the analyst's authenticated session.
Usernames are now sanitized before being inserted into the D3 timeline tooltip as HTML, using the existing sanitize_text() helper to preserve the tooltip's formatting.
