The filename of uploaded files vulnerable to stored XSS

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 8, 2020 in bolt/bolt • Updated Jan 28, 2023

Package

composer bolt/bolt (Composer)

Affected versions

< 3.7.1

Patched versions

3.7.1

Description

Impact

The filename of uploaded files was vulnerable to stored XSS. It is not possible to inject javascript code in the file name when creating/uploading the file. But, once created/uploaded, it can be renamed to inject the payload in it.

Additionally, the measures to prevent renaming the file to disallowed filename extensions could be circumvented.

Patches

This is fixed in Bolt 3.7.1.

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.
