Summary

NocoDB Vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting on Reset Password Page

Details

Summary

The API endpoint related to the password reset function is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting.

Details

Throughout the source-code analysis, it has been found that the endpoint /api/v1/db/auth/password/reset/:tokenId is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting.

The flaw occurs due to implementation of the client-side template engine ejs, specifically on file resetPassword.ts where the template is using the insecure function “<%-“ https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/ba5a191b33259d984fc92df225f7d82ede2ddb56/packages/nocodb/src/modules/auth/ui/auth/resetPassword.ts#L71
which is rendered by the function renderPasswordReset: https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/blob/ba5a191b33259d984fc92df225f7d82ede2ddb56/packages/nocodb/src/modules/auth/auth.controller.ts#L251

PoC

Send the request below to a vulnerable instance: /api/v1/db/auth/password/reset/asdsad%3C%2F%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E%3C%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E%61%6C%65%72%74%28%31%29%3C%2F%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E/

Impact

The vulnerability affect end-users, allowing an attacker to craft and send a malicious link to the victim which leads running script on their browser.
