Hey Adrià,

Thanks for reaching out so quickly. I would be delighted to share the
technical details with you.

I found a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability on the following
file, api_info.html. Specifically, the `datastore_root_url` parameter.

For the example OBB report you provided I'll provide the PoC URL to give
you an idea of how this would be exploited (please test using Chrome or
Firefox) -
opendatani.gov.uk - https://www.opendatani.gov.uk/api/1/util/snippet/api_
info.html?resource_id=0195d6db-b1c8-4a2a-b451-36bc4eeb9361&datastore_root_
url=javascript:alert(/XSS/)//

To trigger, simply click on any of the hyperlinks beginning with
"javascript:alert" and it will invoke an alert box with the text "XSS".

I found this while participating in the following bug bounty program -
https://hackerone.com/tts. I thought I'd mention that as it's likely TTS
will reach out to you guys with vulnerability details also.

I hope this helps and I look forward to hearing from you soon Adrià.

Kindest Regards,

Cameron

First of all thanks a lot for reporting the issue responsibly and give us
time to warn the administrators to patch their sites. We have patched XSS
related issues recently and included them in our latest security releases

Would you mind sharing the details of the vulnerability so we can act as

I'm happy to give any further confirmation that you require.

Many thanks,

Adrià
