Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS) in @nextcloud/dialogs

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 13, 2021 in nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-dialogs • Updated Feb 1, 2023

Package

npm @nextcloud/dialogs (npm)

Affected versions

< 3.1.2

Patched versions

3.1.2

Description

Impact

The Nextcloud dialogs library before 3.1.2 did insufficiently escape text input passed to a toast. If your application displays toasts with user-supplied input, this could lead to a XSS vulnerability.

Note: Nextcloud Server employs a strict Content Security Policy that mitigates the risk of these XSS vulnerabilities.

Patches

The vulnerability has been patched in version 3.1.2. If you need to display HTML in the toast, explicitly pass the options.isHTML config flag.

Workarounds

Make sure no user-supplied input flows into toasts.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
