title: Camaleon CMS vulnerable to stored XSS through user file upload (GHSL-2024-184)
date: 2024-09-23
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.
