AI-suggested
Since this is a stored XSS vulnerability, mitigation should include sanitizing or encoding user-supplied input before rendering it with innerHTML. Administrators should exercise caution when viewing survey responses from anonymous respondents until a fix is available. Monitor the vendor advisory for updates and apply patches once released.
Description
SurveyKing versions 1.13.0 through 1.13.2 have a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The server accepts respondent-supplied survey snapshots, and the frontend renders survey titles using innerHTML, allowing malicious scripts embedded in these snapshots to execute in an administrator's browser. This vulnerability can be triggered by anonymous respondents submitting crafted snapshots with event handlers like img onerror. The CVSS score is 6.1, indicating a medium severity impact.
