Summary
A Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability enables attackers to create malicious URLs that, when visited, inject scripts into the web application. This can lead to session hijacking or phishing attacks on a trusted domain, posing a high risk to all users.
Details
Give all details on the vulnerability. Pointing to the incriminated source code is very helpful for the maintainer.
It's possible to inject html elements, including scripts through the folder-list template. It seems like the .Request.URL.Path variable is not escaped.
I did some research and found it might be due to the text/template import being used in the template implementation, instead of the safer html/template.
PoC
Complete instructions, including specific configuration details, to reproduce the vulnerability. Using the default template configuration, the vulnerability can be reproduced with the following steps.
-
Navigate to
https://your-s3-proxy.com/path-not-foundand confirm the page looks as follows: -
Try inserting an HTML element by changing
/path-not-foundto/<img src="x">and confirm the page looks as follows: -
Now it should be possible to run any JavaScript by manipulating the
onerrorproperty of the img element. This should make the link look likehttps://your-s3-proxy.com/<img src="x" onerror="alert(1)">. Confirm that going to this URL will in fact shows an alert in the browser.
Impact
The affected template allows users to interact with the URL path provided by the Request.URL.Path variable, which is then rendered directly into the HTML without proper sanitization or escaping. This can be abused by attackers who craft a malicious URL containing injected HTML or JavaScript. When users visit such a URL, the malicious script will be executed in the user's context, leading to potential risks such as:
- Session Hijacking: Malicious scripts could be used to steal session cookies or other sensitive information.
- Phishing Attacks: JavaScript could be injected to trick users into submitting sensitive information, such as login credentials.
This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers who craft URLs containing malicious payloads, which would then execute in the user's browser when they access the affected page. This poses a high risk to all users who visit such URLs.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights.
Exploitation attempts have been detected. Elevated vigilance and prompt remediation are advised.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
