Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Nilsteampassnet/teampass, 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

In nilsteampassnet/teampass prior to 3.0.7, if two users have the same folder access, malicious users can create an item where its label field is vulnerable to HTML injection. When other users see that item, it may force them to redirect to the attacker's website or capture their data using a form. The issue is fixed in version 3.0.7.
