Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: N/A)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via the "order" HTTP GET parameter. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

Example:

 http://localhost/kanboard-1.2.7/?controller=DashboardController&action=show&pagination=projects&user_id=1&page=1&order=%22%3E%3Cimg%20src=x%20onerror=alert(0)%3E"><img src=x onerror=alert(0)>
