Description

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript code through the media download URL in Sulu CMS. It affects the SuluMediaBundle component. The vulnerability is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue, which could potentially allow attackers to steal sensitive information, manipulate the website's content, or perform actions on behalf of the victim.

Patches

The problem has not been patched yet. Users should upgrade to patched versions once they become available. Currently affected versions are:

  • 2.6.4
  • 2.5.20

Workarounds

Until an official patch is released, users can implement additional input validation and output encoding for the 'slug' parameter in the MediaStreamController's downloadAction method. Alternatively, configuring a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter potentially malicious input could serve as a temporary mitigation.

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.
