class.upload.php allows cross-site scripting attacks via uploaded files

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jan 4, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 11, 2024

Package

composer verot/class.upload.php (Composer)

Affected versions

<= 2.1.6

Patched versions

None

Description

As a simple library, class.upload.php does not perform an in-depth check on uploaded files, allowing a stored XSS vulnerability when the default configuration is used.

Developers must be aware of that fact and use extension whitelisting accompanied by forcing the server to always provide content-type based on the file extension.

The README has been updated to include these guidelines.

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.
