How to Fix CVE-2024-47617

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

sulu/sulu fixed: 2.6.5
Upgrade sulu/sulu to 2.6.5
sulu/sulu fixed: 2.5.21
Upgrade sulu/sulu to 2.5.21
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 sulu/sulu

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-47617, inspect your project dependencies for Sulu/sulu:

inspect dependencies for sulu/sulu

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sulu/sulu in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.6.5), 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 Sulu/sulu, 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

### Impact This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript code through the media download URL in Sulu CMS. It affects the SuluMediaBundle component. The vulnerability is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue, which could potentially allow attackers to steal sensitive information, manipulate the website's content, or perform actions on behalf of the victim. ### Patches The problem has not been patched yet. Users should upgrade to patched versions once they become available. Currently affected versions are: * 2.6.4 * 2.5.20 ### Workarounds Until an official patch is released, users can implement additional input validation and output encoding for the 'slug' parameter in the MediaStreamController's downloadAction method. Alternatively, configuring a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter potentially malicious input could serve as a temporary mitigation. ### References * GitHub repository: https://github.com/sulu/sulu * Vulnerable code: https://github.com/sulu/sulu/blob/2.6/src/Sulu/Bundle/MediaBundle/Controller/MediaStreamController.php#L106
