Description

Summary

An XSS allows for reflected cross-site scripting via URL-parameter ?setck=...

Details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute malicious javascript by tricking users into accessing a malicious link.

The worst-case outcome of this is being able to move or delete existing files on the server, or upload new files, using the account of the person who clicks the malicious link.

Indicators of Compromise

All attempted attacks (successful or not) would be logged to both the copyparty serverlog and the accesslog of the reverseproxy, and are detected by grep -E '[?&]setck=[^&"]*%' (the text setck= eventually followed by the % character).

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.
