Description
Summary
A stored XSS vulnerability exists in the Number field type settings. The Prefix and Suffix fields are rendered using the `|md|raw` Twig filter without proper escaping, allowing script execution when the Number field is displayed on users' profiles.
Proof of Concept
Required Permissions
• Administrator access
• `allowAdminChanges` is enabled in production, which is against our security recommendations.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Log in with an admin account
2. Navigate to Settings → Fields → New field
3. Choose Number as the field type
4. Set the Prefix/Suffix Text field to:
```html
```
5. Save the field
6. Add this field to any element (e.g., User Profile fields via Settings → Users → User Fields)
7. Navigate to your account (`/admin/myaccount`) or any user profile (`/admin/users/{id}`)
8. XSS executes when viewing the form
Mitigation
Sanitize prefix/suffix before rendering or use `|e` filter instead of `|raw`.
