CVE-2022-31468: n/a in n/a
OX App Suite through 8.2 allows XSS via an attachment or OX Drive content when a client uses the len or off parameter.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2022-31468 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting OX App Suite versions up to 8.2. The vulnerability arises when a client interacts with attachments or OX Drive content using the 'len' or 'off' parameters. These parameters are likely used to specify length or offset values when accessing or rendering content. Improper sanitization or validation of these parameters allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which corresponds to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, leading to XSS. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.1 (medium severity), with the vector indicating network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requiring user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity at a low level, with no impact on availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no vendor or product-specific patch links are provided in the data. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the user's session, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or unauthorized actions within the OX App Suite environment. Given that OX App Suite is a collaborative office and communication platform, exploitation could compromise sensitive organizational data or user credentials.
Potential Impact
For European organizations using OX App Suite up to version 8.2, this vulnerability poses a risk of client-side script injection leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information, session hijacking, or manipulation of user data. Since OX App Suite is often used for email, calendaring, and file sharing, exploitation could result in leakage of confidential communications or intellectual property. The requirement for user interaction (e.g., opening a malicious attachment or link) means social engineering could be leveraged by attackers. The changed scope indicates that the vulnerability could affect multiple components or users beyond the initially targeted resource, increasing potential impact. Organizations in sectors with high data sensitivity such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure in Europe could face significant operational and reputational damage if exploited. Additionally, regulatory compliance risks arise under GDPR if personal data is exposed due to exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Upgrade OX App Suite to a version beyond 8.2 where this vulnerability is patched; if no patch is available, contact the vendor for guidance or apply any available workarounds. 2. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on parameters 'len' and 'off' to neutralize malicious scripts. 3. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts in browsers accessing OX App Suite. 4. Educate users about the risks of opening unexpected attachments or links, especially those that manipulate URL parameters. 5. Monitor web application logs for unusual requests involving 'len' or 'off' parameters that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Use web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block XSS payloads targeting these parameters. 7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on client-side injection vectors within OX App Suite deployments.
