Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: N/A)
CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker on the local network to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser through reflected cross-site scripting.
The vulnerability exists due to missing content-type specification in Gatsby's development server /_gatsby/file endpoint when proxying attacker-controlled responses, allowing browser content sniffing to interpret HTML as a web page. A remote attacker on the local network can trick a victim into opening a crafted URL using the u query parameter to proxy malicious HTML through a development server exposed to an untrusted network.
