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

CVE-2024-45031

Medium
5.1/10

Summary

When editing objects in the Syncope Console, incomplete HTML tags could be used to bypass HTML sanitization. This made it possible to inject stored XSS payloads which would trigger for other users during ordinary usage of the application. XSS payloads could also be injected in Syncope Enduser when editing "Personal Information" or "User Requests": such payloads would trigger for administrators in Syncope Console, thus enabling session hijacking. This issue affects version org.apache.syncope.client:syncope-client-console 2.1.0 and later and org.apache.syncope.client.idrepo:syncope-client-idrepo-common-ui 3.0.0-M0 through 3.0.7.

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.
