Pimcore Panic: XSS Vulnerability Threatens User Security!
Beware of the Pimcore 10.5.x and 11.x comedy of errors! Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) allows attackers to turn your search document into a JavaScript party, popping alerts like confetti. Remember, it’s all fun and games until you click “save” and your browser gets pranked.
Hot Take:
Oh, Pimcore, you had one job: to keep the hackers out and the data in! But alas, it seems that even your data object classification store couldn’t classify the sneaky scripts from the safe ones. Now, the XSS bandits can waltz right in, planting their little script bombs and popping alerts like it’s the Fourth of July. So, if you’re using an older version of Pimcore, consider this a sign from the universe to update before your users start seeing more alerts than a weather app during hurricane season.
Key Points:
- A stored XSS vulnerability has been identified in Pimcore’s Data Object Classification Store functionality.
- The issue stems from insufficient input sanitization, allowing JavaScript code injection.
- Authenticated users can exploit this flaw to execute scripts in other users’ browsers.
- The vulnerability affects Pimcore versions 10.5.x before 10.5.21 and 11.x before 11.1.1.
- Updating to a patched version is crucial to mitigate the risk.
