Title
LinkAce - Stored XSS via Unsanitized SSO User's Name Rendered in Admin Audit Log Allows Session Hijacking
Summary
LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect website links. Prior to 2.5.6, LinkAce contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows a low-privilege user to execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser session. This affects instances configured with SSO/OAuth authentication, which is one of the supported authentication methods in LinkAce. An attacker who sets their OAuth display name to a malicious script and then creates an API token will plant a persistent XSS payload in the audit log. When any admin navigates to /system/audit, the payload executes in the admin's browser context. This enables session cookie theft, CSRF token exfiltration (exposed in the la-app-data meta tag), or any other action the admin can perform. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.5.6.

Anteriormente a la 2.5.6, LinkAce contiene una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting almacenado que permite a un usuario con bajos privilegios ejecutar JavaScript arbitrario en la sesi\u00f3n del navegador de un administrador.

Un atacante que establece su nombre de visualizaci\u00f3n de OAuth a un script malicioso y luego crea un token de API plantar\u00e1 una carga \u00fatil de XSS persistente en el registro de auditor\u00eda. Cuando cualquier administrador navega a /system/audit, la carga \u00fatil se ejecuta en el contexto del navegador del administrador. Esto permite el robo de la cookie de sesi\u00f3n, la exfiltraci\u00f3n de tokens CSRF (expuesto en la metaetiqueta la-app-data) o cualquier otra acci\u00f3n que el administrador pueda realizar.
