### Summary An attacker with admin privileges can upload an attachment containing JS code without extension and the application will render it as HTML which allows for XSS attacks. ### Details When attachments are uploaded without an extension, the application renders it as HTML by default. Therefore allowing attackers to upload .html files containing javascript code to perform XSS attacks. The direct file path to the uploaded attachment is also easily obtainable as it is made up of substrings of the file's MD5 hashes. ### PoC 1. Admin users can upload attachments containing XSS payloads in files without extensions to bypass the .html extension check.  2. Since the path of the uploaded file is built entirely on the file’s MD5 hash and the attachment directory, it is possible for an attacker to know the direct path of the uploaded file. E.g file MD5 hash: 38fff51cb7248a06d6142c6bdf84...

### Impact The vulnerability [CVE-2023-49090](https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave/security/advisories/GHSA-gxhx-g4fq-49hj) wasn't fully addressed. This vulnerability is caused by the fact that when uploading to object storage, including Amazon S3, it is possible to set a Content-Type value that is interpreted by browsers to be different from what's allowed by `content_type_allowlist`, by providing multiple values separated by commas. This bypassed value can be used to cause XSS. ### Patches Upgrade to [3.0.7](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/3.0.7) or [2.2.6](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/2.2.6). ### Workarounds Use the following monkey patch to let CarrierWave parse the Content-type by using `Marcel::MimeType.for`. ```ruby # For CarrierWave 3.x CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.class_eval do def declared_content_type @declared_content_type || if @file.respond_to?(:content_type) && @file.content_type Marcel::MimeType.for(d...

The Chat activity in Moodle 4.3.3 allows students to insert a potentially unwanted HTML A element or IMG element, or HTML content that leads to a performance degradation. NOTE: the vendor's Using_Chat page says "If you know some HTML code, you can use it in your text to do things like insert images, play sounds or create different coloured and sized text." This page also says "Chat is due to be removed from standard Moodle."

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5642-1 - Three security issues were discovered in php-svg-lib, a PHP library to read, parse and export to PDF SVG files, which could result in denial of service, restriction bypass or the execution of arbitrary code.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SurveyJS Survey Creator v.1.9.132 and before, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code and obtain sensitive information via the title parameter in form.

### Summary A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists that enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog that will execute in the context of another user's browser when viewed in the GWC Demos Page. Access to the GWC Demos Page is available to all users although data security may limit users' ability to trigger the XSS. ### Impact If an attacker can control a script that is executed in the victim's browser, then they can typically fully compromise that user. Amongst other things, the attacker can: 1 .Perform any action within the application that the user can perform. 2. View any information that the user is able to view. 3. Modify any information that the user is able to modify. 4. Initiate interactions with other application users, including malicious attacks, that will appear to originate from the initial victim user. ### References https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/issues/117...

### Summary A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists that enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog that will execute in the context of another user's browser when viewed in the MapML HTML Page. The MapML extension must be installed and access to the MapML HTML Page is available to all users although data security may limit users' ability to trigger the XSS. ### Impact If an attacker can control a script that is executed in the victim's browser, then they can typically fully compromise that user.

### Summary A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists that enables an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to store a JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog that will execute in the context of another administrator’s browser when viewed in the GWC Seed Form. Access to the GWC Seed Form is limited to full administrators by default and granting non-administrators access to this endpoint is not recommended. ### Details _Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer._ ### PoC _Complete instructions, including specific configuration details, to reproduce the vulnerability._ ### Impact If an attacker can control a script that is executed in the victim's browser, then they can typically fully compromise that user.
