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 Sitegeist/fluid components, 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

All versions of Fluid Components before 3.5.0 were susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting. Version 3.5.0 of the extension fixes this issue. Due to the nature of the problem, some changes in your project's Fluid templates might be necessary to prevent unwanted double-escaping of HTML markup.
