A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Selenium Grid v3.141.59 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the hub parameter under the /grid/console page.

Selenium Selenium Grid (formerly Selenium Standalone Server) Fixed in 4.0.0-alpha-7 is affected by: DNS rebinding. The impact is: execute arbitrary code (remote). The component is: WebDriver endpoint of Selenium Grid / Selenium Standalone Server. The attack vector is: Triggered by browsing to to a malicious remote web server. The WebDriver endpoint of Selenium Server (Grid) is vulnerable to DNS rebinding. This can be used to execute arbitrary code on the machine.

selenium-portal is a Selenium Testing Framework selenium-portal downloads binary resources over HTTP, which leaves it vulnerable to MITM attacks. It may be possible to cause remote code execution (RCE) by swapping out the requested resources with an attacker controlled copy if the attacker is on the network or positioned in between the user and the remote server.

Affected versions of selenium-wrapper insecurely download an executable over an unencrypted HTTP connection.

In scenarios where an attacker has a privileged network position, it is possible to intercept the response and replace the executable with a malicious one, resulting in code execution on the system running selenium-wrapper.

Recommendation

No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.

The best mitigation is currently to avoid using this package, using a different package if available.

Alternatively, the risk of exploitation can be reduced by ensuring that this package is not installed while connected to a public network. If the package is installed on a private network, the only people who can exploit this vulnerability are those who have compromised your network or those who have privileged access to your ISP, such as Nation State Actors or Rogue ISP Employees.
