CVE-2021-42092
NixOS vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

An issue was discovered in Zammad before version 4.1.1, affecting versions 1.0.x up to 4.1.0. The vulnerability allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) to occur via an Article during addition of an attachment to a Ticket. This security issue was disclosed on October 5, 2021 (Zammad Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the attachment functionality of Zammad's ticketing system. When uploading attachments to Tickets via Articles, there was a possibility to bypass the Content-Security-Policy (CSP) protections. This allowed malicious JavaScript code to be included in attachments that would not be blocked by the existing CSP measures. The vulnerability was rated as 'high' severity (Zammad Advisory).

Impact

The successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of other users' browsers who view the affected ticket attachments. This could potentially lead to session hijacking, data theft, or other client-side attacks (Zammad Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been fixed in Zammad versions 4.1.1 and 5.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to one of these fixed versions. Updates can be obtained through the official Zammad website, FTP server, or through the OS package manager (Zammad Advisory).
