Vulnerability Details
Hi, Input validation and/or sanitisation is not currently applied in the **Project Name** field in https://<domain>/create/project/. As, a result, it is possible to have a stored XSS that will affect all the users in the Weblate application. To identify this XSS I used the Docker environment from https://github.com/WeblateOrg/docker. **Steps to reproduce:** 1. Administrator creates a project and then adds a user in that project. 2. Depending on permissions the user will login go to **watched projects** pick the project -> **Manage** -> **Settings** and will have the ability to change the Project Name. Here I changed it to `<svg/onload=alert(document.domain)>` and hit save. 3. When the user visits his `/accounts/profile/` page, he will trigger the Stored XSS. I also found that even a user that doesn't have access to that project, but I guess the project is public, he will also get xss'ed. Furthermore, with this he also has the ability to xss the Admin, all the have to do is visit the `/accounts/profile/` page. So, this has the potential to affect all users. ## Impact Input validation and/or sanitisation on the Project Name field. Please let me know if you require any additional information regarding this issue. Thanks.
