Passbolt Api E-mail HTML injection

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 20, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated May 20, 2024

Package

composer passbolt/passbolt_api (Composer)

Affected versions

< 2.7.0

Patched versions

2.7.0

Description

Passbolt sends e-mail to users to warn them about different type of events such as the creation, modification or deletion of a password. Those e-mails may contain user-specified input, such as a password’s title or description.

Passbolt does not escape the user’s input properly, resulting in the user being able to inject HTML code in an e-mail.

An authenticated attacker could share a password containing an img HTML tag in its description with an other user to obtain information about their mail user-agent.

This vulnerability has a very low impact. Most MUA do not embed remote images to protect their users’ privacy.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
