A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the /publix/run endpoint of JATOS 3.7.1 through 3.9.6 (inclusive). This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a user's web browser by including a malicious payload in the "code" URL parameter. When an authenticated admin user accesses the study's URL, the malicious script gets interpreted and executes within their browser, which can lead to unauthorized actions, account compromise, and privilege escalation.

JATOS 3.9.4 contains a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in the authentication system, where an attacker can prevent legitimate users from accessing their accounts by repeatedly sending multiple failed login attempts. Specifically, by submitting 3 incorrect login attempts every minute, the attacker can trigger the account lockout mechanism on the account level, effectively locking the user out indefinitely. Since the lockout is applied to the user account and not based on the IP address, any attacker can trigger the lockout on any user account, regardless of their privileges.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in JATOS v3.9.3 allows an attacker to reset the administrator's password. This critical security flaw can result in unauthorized access to the platform, enabling attackers to hijack admin accounts and compromise the integrity and security of the system.

Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability discovered in the Properties Component of JATOS v3.9.3. This flaw allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into the properties section of a study, specifically within the UUID field. When an admin user accesses the study's properties, the injected script is executed in the admin's browser, which could lead to unauthorized actions, including account compromise and privilege escalation.
