Description

LORIS (Longitudinal Online Research and Imaging System) is a self-hosted web application that provides data- and project-management for neuroimaging research. From 15.10 to before 27.0.3 and 28.0.1, there is a potential for a cross-site scripting attack in the survey_accounts module if a user provides an invalid visit label. While the data is properly JSON encoded, the Content-Type header is not set causing the web browser to interpret the payload as HTML, opening the possibility of a cross-site scripting if a user is tricked into following an invalid link. This vulnerability is fixed in 27.0.3 and 28.0.1.
