AI-suggested
European organizations should immediately upgrade RomM to version 4.4.1 or later to apply the vendor’s patch. In addition, implement strict server-side validation to restrict file upload types, disallowing SVG and HTML files unless absolutely necessary, and sanitize all uploaded content to prevent embedded scripts. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to limit script execution contexts and reduce XSS impact. Harden CSRF protections by ensuring anti-CSRF tokens are properly implemented and validated for all state-changing requests. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on file upload functionalities and session management. Educate users about phishing and social engineering risks that could facilitate exploitation. Monitor logs for suspicious file uploads and unusual administrative activities. Consider network segmentation to isolate RomM servers and limit potential lateral movement in case of compromise. Finally, maintain an incident response plan tailored to web application attacks involving privilege escalation.
Description
RomM (ROM Manager) allows users to scan, enrich, browse and play their game collections with a clean and responsive interface. RomM contains multiple unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities that allow authenticated users to upload malicious SVG or HTML files. When these files are accessed the browser executes embedded JavaScript, leading to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) which when combined with a CSRF misconfiguration they lead to achieve full administrative account takeover, creating a rogue admin account, escalating the attacker account role to admin, and much more. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.4.1 and 4.4.1-beta.2.
