CVE-2024-25976Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS)
Medium 6.1
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in HAWKI from Interaction Design Team at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim/Germany. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.6% (higher than 49% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
When LDAP authentication is activated in the configuration it is possible to obtain reflected XSS execution by creating a custom URL that the victim only needs to open in order to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim's browser. This is due to a fault in the file login.php where the content of "$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']" is reflected into the HTML of the website. Hence the attacker does not need a valid account in order to exploit this issue.
