Description
Summary
A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the fsNick cookie parameter. The application reflects the cookie's value directly into the HTML without sanitization.
Details
The fsNick cookie is rendered into the DOM without encoding. While the server does reject the modified session and forces a logout, the HTML containing the payload reaches the browser first. This lets the script execute immediately upon load, effectively beating the redirect.
PoC
-
Log in to the application with any valid account.

Impact
The payload executes before the session ends, which could potentially allow for a single unauthorized action before the logout.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for facturascripts/facturascripts, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of facturascripts/facturascripts has shipped for CVE-2026-27964 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
