Description

Withdrawn Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because only the main admin with the highest level of privilege can provide input, and there are no users other than the admin from whom data could be stolen. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

automad up to 1.10.9 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting in the sitename argument because the SharedController class that handles form data and saving shared information does not properly sanitize the user input on the client side when rendering the data. The attack may be launched remotely and an exploit has been disclosed publicly.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
