How to Fix CVE-2023-2191

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Azuracast/azuracast dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

azuracast/azuracast fixed: 0.18.0 
Upgrade azuracast/azuracast to 0.18.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for azuracast/azuracast

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-2191, inspect your project dependencies for Azuracast/azuracast:

inspect dependencies for azuracast/azuracast

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Azuracast/azuracast in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.18.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

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 Azuracast/azuracast, 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

AzuraCast/AzuraCast prior to version 0.18.0 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting. An issue was identified where a user who already had an AzuraCast account could update their display name to inject malicious JavaScript into the header menu of the site. In a majority of cases, this menu is only visible to the current logged-in user (pages like the `Administer Users` page are unaffected by this vulnerability), but if a higher-privileged administrator uses the `Log In As` feature to masquerade as a user, then the JavaScript injection could exfiltrate certain data. Anonymous members of the public cannot exploit this vulnerability in an AzuraCast installation, so it is primarily of concern for multi-tenant installations (i.e. resellers).
