CVE-2024-57771 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the common/getEditPage?view interface of JFinalOA, an enterprise office automation platform. This vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2025.01.01 and allows attackers to inject and execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML content via a crafted payload. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which pertains to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The CVSS v3.1 score is 4.8, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details specify that the attack can be performed remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), but requires high privileges (PR:H) and user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L), with no impact on availability (A:N). Although no public exploits are known at this time, the vulnerability could be leveraged by attackers with authorized access to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or unauthorized actions within the affected application context. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may be forthcoming or that users should upgrade to version 2025.01.01 or later to remediate the issue.

The primary impact of CVE-2024-57771 is on the confidentiality and integrity of data within the JFinalOA platform. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of authenticated users, potentially leading to session hijacking, theft of sensitive information, or unauthorized modification of data. Since the vulnerability requires high privileges and user interaction, the risk is somewhat mitigated but still significant in environments where users have elevated access. Organizations relying on JFinalOA for office automation and internal workflows could face data breaches or manipulation of business-critical information. The vulnerability does not affect system availability, so denial-of-service conditions are unlikely. However, the scope change indicates that the impact could extend beyond the immediate interface, affecting other components or user sessions. Given the widespread use of office automation platforms in enterprises, this vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks, especially in sectors with high-value data or regulatory requirements.

To mitigate CVE-2024-57771, organizations should upgrade JFinalOA to version 2025.01.01 or later as soon as the patch is available. In the interim, administrators should restrict access to the common/getEditPage?view interface to only trusted users with necessary privileges. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data to prevent injection of malicious scripts. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit the execution of unauthorized scripts within the application. Conduct regular security training to raise awareness about phishing and social engineering attacks that could facilitate user interaction required for exploitation. Monitor application logs for unusual activities that might indicate attempted exploitation. Additionally, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules tailored to detect and block XSS payloads targeting this interface. Finally, review and minimize user privileges to reduce the risk posed by high-privilege accounts.
