Summary

Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources Negotiator v3.15.2 (BBMRI-ERIC) due to lack of proper validation of user input when sending a POST request with parameter text in '/api/v3/negotiations/<postUID>/posts'. This could allow a remote user to send a specially crafted query to an authenticated user and steal their cookie session details.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could hijack an authenticated user's session, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and confidentiality breaches.

Recommendation

Update the BBMRI-ERIC system to the latest version and implement input validation and sanitization for the text parameter.
