CVE-2023-2191: Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in azuracast/azuracast

Published Apr 20, 2023
·
Updated

AzuraCast/AzuraCast prior to version 0.18.0 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting. An issue was identified where a user who already had an AzuraCast account could update their display name to inject malicious JavaScript into the header menu of the site. In a majority of cases, this menu is only visible to the current logged-in user (pages like the Administer Users page are unaffected by this vulnerability), but if a higher-privileged administrator uses the Log In As feature to masquerade as a user, then the JavaScript injection could exfiltrate certain data. Anonymous members of the public cannot exploit this vulnerability in an AzuraCast installation, so it is primarily of concern for multi-tenant installations (i.e. resellers).
