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.

Capture any the GET request .

Modify the value of "fsNick" with the following JavaScript:
<script>alert(window.origin)</script> -
Send the modified request.

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.
Fix
Update facturascripts/facturascripts to 2025.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gq5c-rw37-g46c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
