CVE-2024-32463 (GCVE-0-2024-32463)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-04-17 15:29 – Updated: 2024-08-02 02:13

Title

phlex makes Cross-site Scripting (XSS) possible due to improper sanitisation of `href` attributes on `<a>` tags

Summary

phlex is an open source framework for building object-oriented views in Ruby. There is a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited via maliciously crafted user data. The filter to detect and prevent the use of the `javascript:` URL scheme in the `href` attribute of an `<a>` tag could be bypassed with tab `\t` or newline `\n` characters between the characters of the protocol, e.g. `java\tscript:`. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.10.1, 1.9.2, 1.8.3, 1.7.2, 1.6.3, 1.5.3, and 1.4.2. Configuring a Content Security Policy that does not allow `unsafe-inline` would effectively prevent this vulnerability from being exploited.

GHSA-G7XQ-XV8C-H98C

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-17 00:20 – Updated: 2024-04-19 21:44

Summary

Cross-site Scripting (XSS) possible due to improper sanitisation of `href` attributes on `<a>` tags

Details

Summary

There is a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited via maliciously crafted user data.

Our filter to detect and prevent the use of the javascript: URL scheme in the href attribute of an <a> tag could be bypassed with tab \t or newline \n characters between the characters of the protocol, e.g. java\tscript:.

Impact

If you render an <a> tag with an href attribute set to a user-provided link, that link could potentially execute JavaScript when clicked by another user.

a(href: user_profile) { "Profile" }

Mitigation

The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is to update to one of the following versions:

Workarounds

Configuring a Content Security Policy that does not allow unsafe-inline would effectively prevent this vulnerability from being exploited.

Severity

7.1 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
