Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Damienharper/auditor bundle, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary Unescaped entity property enables Javascript injection. ### Details I think this is possible because %source_label% in twig macro is not escaped. Therefore script tags can be inserted and are executed. ### PoC - clone example project https://github.com/DamienHarper/auditor-bundle-demo - create author with FullName <script>alert()</script> - delete author - view audit of authors - alert is displayed ### Impact persistent XSS. JS can be injected and executed.
