CVE-2024-37856: n/a
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in Lost and Found Information System 1.0 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the first, last, middle name fields in the User Profile page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is a Cross Site Scripting (CWE-79) issue affecting Lost and Found Information System 1.0. An attacker with some user privileges can exploit the first, last, and middle name fields on the User Profile page to perform XSS attacks that lead to privilege escalation. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requires privileges (PR:L), user interaction (UI:R), scope changed (S:C), and impacts confidentiality and integrity partially (C:L/I:L) without affecting availability (A:N). No known exploits in the wild or patches have been reported as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with limited privileges to escalate their privileges via stored XSS in user profile name fields. This could lead to partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity of the system or user data. Availability is not impacted. The vulnerability requires user interaction and some existing privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict user input in the affected fields by implementing input validation and output encoding to mitigate XSS risks. Monitor for suspicious activity related to user profile modifications.
