GHSA-GHJV-MH6X-7Q6H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-01-16 15:24 – Updated: 2024-06-25 16:56Summary
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in the key_value field of Avo v3.2.3. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim's browser.
Details
The value of the key_value is inserted directly into the HTML code. In the current version of Avo (possibly also older versions), the value is not properly sanitized before it is inserted into the HTML code.
This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code into the key_value field. When a victim views the page containing the malicious code, the code will be executed in their browser.
In avo/fields/common/key_value_component.html.erb the value is taken in lines 38 and 49 and seems to be interpreted directly as html in lines 44 and 55.
PoC

To reproduce the vulnerability, follow these steps:
- Edit an entry with a key_value field.
- Enter the following payload into the value field: ```POC\"> alert( 'XSS in key_value' ); Outside-tag
