Belgian ethical hacking platform Intigriti hosted a new monthly XSS (cross site scripting) challenge in February 2022.

The challenge was build around a parameter that could be controlled by the attacker but only allowed a limited amount of characters. This check could be bypassed via a source code variable that was then used to abuse a second parameter that did not have to pass the character limit check. This second parameter can be altered in such way it executes any arbitrary Javascript code without character length restrictions.
