No affected components available
Summary
A potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the /wireui/button endpoint, specifically through the label query parameter. Malicious actors could exploit this vulnerability by injecting JavaScript into the label parameter, leading to the execution of arbitrary code in the victim's browser.
Details
The /wireui/button endpoint dynamically renders button labels based on user-provided input via the label query parameter. Due to insufficient sanitization or escaping of this input, an attacker can inject malicious JavaScript. The following URL demonstrates the vulnerability:
https://wireui.dev/wireui/button?label=Cancel&1%25%7ds8dk0%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(1)%3C/script%3Ez1qt3=1
By crafting such a request, an attacker can inject arbitrary code that will be executed by the browser when the endpoint is accessed.
Proof of Concept (PoC)
To demonstrate the vulnerability, visit the following URL:
/wireui/button?label=<script>alert(1)</script>
Upon loading the page, the injected JavaScript will execute, displaying an alert with the message "1." This confirms the vulnerability and highlights that user input is not being properly escaped or sanitized.
Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the affected website. This could lead to:
- Session Hijacking: Stealing session cookies, tokens, or other sensitive information.
- User Impersonation: Performing unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users.
- Phishing: Redirecting users to malicious websites.
- Content Manipulation: Altering the appearance or behavior of the affected page to mislead users or execute further attacks.
The severity of this vulnerability depends on the context of where the affected component is used, but in all cases, it poses a significant risk to user security.
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. The attacker needs the user to perform some action, like clicking a link. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a low impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a low impact on the integrity of the data.
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.
