title: Camaleon CMS vulnerable to stored XSS through user file
upload (GHSL-2024-184)
date: 2024-09-25
description: |
A stored cross-site scripting has been found in the image upload
functionality that can be used by normal registered users:
It is possible to upload a SVG image containing JavaScript and it's
also possible to upload a HTML document when the format parameter
is manually changed to [documents][1] or a string of an
[unsupported format][2]. If an authenticated user or administrator
visits that uploaded image or document malicious JavaScript can be
executed on their behalf (e.g. changing or deleting content inside
of the CMS.)

## Impact
This issue may lead to account takeover due to reflected Cross-site
scripting (XSS).
## Remediation
Only allow the upload of safe files such as PNG, TXT and others or
serve all "unsafe" files such as SVG and other files with a
content-disposition: attachment header, which should prevent browsers
from displaying them.
Additionally, a [Content security policy (CSP)][3] can be created
that disallows inlined script. (Other parts of the application might
need modification to continue functioning.)

To prevent the theft of the auth_token it could be marked with
HttpOnly. This would however not prevent that actions could be
performed as the authenticated user/administrator. Furthermore, it
could make sense to use the authentication provided by Ruby on Rails,
so that stolen tokens cannot be used anymore after some time.
