AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately verify their FreePBX contactmanager module version and upgrade to the fixed releases: 15.0.14, 16.0.27, or 17.0.6 as appropriate. Until patching is completed, restrict UCP user permissions to the minimum necessary and monitor for suspicious activity. Implement strict input validation and output encoding on any custom modules or integrations interacting with FreePBX to reduce XSS risks. Educate administrators to be cautious when interacting with user-generated content within the system. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting XSS payloads to provide an additional layer of defense. Regularly audit FreePBX logs for unusual access patterns or administrative actions. Consider network segmentation to limit access to the FreePBX management interface to trusted hosts. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups of configuration and call data to enable recovery in case of compromise.
Description
contactmanager is a module for FreePBX@, which is an open source GUI that controls and manages Asterisk© (PBX). In versions 15.0.14 and below, 16.0.0 through 16.0.26.4 and 17.0.0 through 17.0.5, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in FreePBX allows a low-privileged User Control Panel (UCP) user to inject malicious JavaScript into the system. The malicious code executes in the context of an administrator when they interact with the affected component, leading to session hijacking and potential privilege escalation. This issue is fixed in versions 15.0.14, 16.0.27 and 17.0.6.
