The URL-encoded input being passed in input parameter can be
decoded to a array containing a single JSON buffer.
[{"STYLE": "016a16896568739c11955632068abddd", "cb_traf_perf": "yes", "sb_detailed_policy_count": "1",
"sb_groups": "sophos_swa_all_departments", "rd_schedule": "daily", "sb_days": "7", "sb_weekly_day": "Monday",
"txt_schedule_name": "test<script>alert(1);</script>", "cb_activate_schedule": "yes", "recipients": "test@...t.asdasd",
"schedule_id": "dGVzdA==", "owner": "admin"}]
Within the JSON buffer is a key called txt_schedule_name. The
value for this key is the name of the scheduled report. This
value is included in the report schedule list.
"txt_schedule_name": "test<script>alert(1);</script>"
The HTML tags are then stored. When the report schedule is
viewed, the resulting JSON is sent as content-type text/html
instead of application/json, causing the browser to execute any
unescaped javascript it contains. The output is HTML-encoded
with the exception of the txt_schedule_name: value which is
not sanitized, and the payload triggers.
