Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVE-2024-29193

Medium
6.1/10

Summary

Go2rtc is a camera streaming application vulnerable to DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting in versions through 1.8.5. The index page (`index.html`) shows the available streams by fetching the API on the client side. Then, it uses `Object.entries` to iterate over the result whose first item (`name`) gets appended using `innerHTML`. If a victim visits the server, their browser will execute the request against the go2rtc instance. After the request, the browser will be redirected to go2rtc, in which the XSS will be executed in the context of go2rtc's origin.

CWE-79 - Cross Site Scripting

Cross-Site Scripting, commonly referred to as XSS, is the most dominant class of vulnerabilities. It allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a pregnable web application and victimize its users. The exploitation of such a weakness can cause severe issues such as account takeover, and sensitive data exfiltration. Because of the prevalence of XSS vulnerabilities and their high rate of exploitation, it has remained in the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities for years.
