CVE-2018-14040 is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Bootstrap Collapse component's data-parent attribute. Bootstrap versions before 4.1.2 are affected; Bootstrap 3.3.7 was also reported as affected. Unsafe handling of an attacker-controlled data-parent value can enable script execution in a victim's browser in the security context of the application.

This repository is a collection of proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for historical XSS vulnerabilities in the Bootstrap front-end framework. The main file, 'test.html', is a standalone HTML page that demonstrates four different XSS vulnerabilities (CVE-2019-8331, CVE-2018-14040, CVE-2016-10735, CVE-2024-6485) affecting various versions of Bootstrap 3.x and 4.x. Each PoC is clearly labeled and includes instructions for selecting the appropriate library version by editing the <head> section of the HTML file. The XSS payloads are injected via vulnerable HTML attributes and trigger JavaScript alert popups when the user interacts with the page elements. The repository is intended for educational and research purposes, providing a safe, local environment to study these vulnerabilities without requiring a backend server. The structure is simple, with the main exploit logic contained in 'test.html', a configuration example in 'evil.yml', and documentation in 'README.md'.
