Cross-site Scripting via uploaded SVG

In Sulu v2.0.0 through v2.6.4 are vulnerable against XSS whereas a low privileged user with an access to the “Media” section can upload an SVG file with a malicious payload. Once uploaded and accessed, the malicious javascript will be executed on the victims’ (other users including admins) browsers.

GHSA-6784-9c82-vr85

Injection of arbitrary HTML/JavaScript code through the media download URL

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript code through the media download URL in Sulu CMS. It affects the SuluMediaBundle component. The vulnerability is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue, which could potentially allow attackers to steal sensitive information, manipulate the website's content, or perform actions on behalf of the victim.

Patches

The problem has not been patched yet. Users should upgrade to patched versions once they become available. Currently affected versions are:

• 2.6.4
• 2.5.20

Workarounds

Until an official patch is released, users can implement additional input validation and output encoding for the 'slug' parameter in the MediaStreamController's downloadAction method. Alternatively, configuring a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter potentially malicious input could serve as a temporary mitigation.

Reset Password / Login vulnerability in Sulu

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

This vulnerability consists of a few related issues:

Forget password leaks information if the user exists

When the Forget password feature on the login screen is used, Sulu asks the user for a username or email address. If the given string is not found, a response with a 400 error code is returned, along with a error message saying that this user name does not exist:

{
    "code": 0,
    "message": "Entity with the type \u0022Sulu\\Bundle\\SecurityBundle\\Entity\\User\u0022 and the id \u0022asdf\u0022 not found."
}

This enables attackers to retrieve valid usernames.

Forgot password leaks user email if user exists

The response of the Forgot Password request returns the email address to which the email was sent, if the operation was successful:

{"email":"admin@localhost.local"}

This information should not be exposed, as it can be used to gather email addresses.

Response time of login gives hint if the username exists

If the username the user enters in the login screen does not exists, the request responds much faster than if the username exists. This again allows attackers to retrieve valid usernames.

Reset Token for Forgot Password feature is not hashed

The reset token in the user database table is not hashed. That means that somebody could try to request a new password using the Forgot Password feature, and look that up in the database, if the attacker somehow got access to the database. Hashing the reset token would fix that problem.

Patches

This problem was fixed in Release 1.6.34, 2.0.10 and 2.1.1.

Workarounds

Override the files manually in your project and change them accordingly.
