Summary
Mythic from 3.2.16 through 3.4.0.61 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79). Attackers who control files on a target endpoint can plant HTML in files named with a .pdf extension. When an operator downloads such a file and clicks Preview Media, the HTML runs in the Mythic UI origin and can steal localStorage JWTs for full GraphQL and REST access.

Description from the CNA
Mythic 3.2.16 through 3.4.0.61 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers controlling target endpoint files to run JavaScript in the Mythic UI origin by planting HTML in .pdf-named files. When an operator downloads the file and clicks Preview Media, content-sniffed HTML from /direct/view renders same-origin, stealing localStorage JWTs for full GraphQL and REST access.
