OrientDB Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in OrientDB version 3.0.17. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts by sending crafted JSON payloads to the document endpoint. Exploitation involves POST requests to the /document/demodb/-1:-1 endpoint, with script tags included in the name parameter. This results in the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the browsers of users accessing the affected database.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for reflected cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user's browser.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to the /document/demodb/-1:-1 endpoint. Include a JSON payload that contains a script tag in the name parameter. The injected script will be executed in the user's browser, demonstrating the cross-site scripting vulnerability.
