CVE-2024-9101: phpLDAPadmin: Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in entry_chooser.php
First published: Thu Dec 19 2024(Updated: )
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'Entry Chooser' of phpLDAPadmin (version 1.2.1 through the latest version, 1.2.6.7) allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the user's browser via the 'element' parameter, which is unsafely passed to the JavaScript 'eval' function. However, exploitation is limited to specific conditions where 'opener' is correctly set.

Remedy
It is recommended to avoid using the eval() function, especially in combination with user-supplied input. Instead of using eval(), it is advised to access the DOM element directly in a safe manner.
