Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a viewer's browser.

The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of stored input in web/skins/classic/views/js/montage.js.php when rendering a monitor's DefaultPlayer value in the montage view. A remote user can submit a specially crafted Monitor.DefaultPlayer value through POST /api/monitors/edit/{id}.json to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a viewer's browser.

Exploitation requires monitor editing permission and a separate viewer opening the montage view. The monitor must be visible to that viewer and have Capturing set to a value other than None. The injected code executes within the page's existing nonce-bearing script.
