1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13225)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

phpIPAM 1.4 contains a stored cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability within the Edit User Instructions field of the User Instructions widget.


2) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7988)

CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website, such as be used to change the password of any user/admin, to escalate privileges, and to gain access to more data and functionality. This issue exists due to the lack of a requirement to provide the old password, and the lack of security tokens.
