Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in Kitodo.Presentation

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 29, 2020 in kitodo/kitodo-presentation • Updated Jun 3, 2024

Package

composer kitodo/presentation (Composer)

Affected versions

< 3.1.2

Patched versions

3.1.2

Description

Impact

Kitodo.Presentation fails to properly encode URL parameters for output in HTML making it vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS). Only sites using the ListView, Navigation or PageView plugins are affected.

It also includes jQuery 3.4.1 which is known to be vulnerable against Cross Site Scripting, although there is currently no known way to exploit this in Kitodo.Presentation.

Patches

An updated version of Kitodo.Presentation is available on GitHub, Packagist and in the TYPO3 Extension Repository. Users are advised to update as soon as possible.

The issue was also fixed in release 2.3.1 of the 2.x branch, although it is generally not recommended to run this branch since it depends on an outdated TYPO3 version.

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.
