Summary

Formbricks before 5.4.4 and 6 before 6.0.1 allows stored XSS. The survey-level Custom Head Scripts feature did not enforce the documented Manage permission boundary. A workspace member holding only readWrite permission could configure Custom Head Scripts on a survey, an operation the documentation restricts to the Manage role. Because the configured scripts execute in the authenticated browser session of any user who opens the affected survey, a lower-privileged member can run arbitrary JavaScript (stored cross-site scripting) in the session of higher-privileged users. Fixed versions require Manage access to modify survey Custom Head Scripts.
