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 Dweeves/magmi, 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

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) was discovered in Magmi 0.7.22. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data (prefix) passed to the `magmi-git-master/magmi/web/ajax_gettime.php` URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.
