Overview

Lychee-v3 3.2.16 was discovered to contain a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in php/Access/Guest.php. The vulnerability was disclosed on December 15, 2021. The issue occurs when the function exit terminates the script and prints a message to the user containing the albumID parameter, which is controlled by the user (NVD, CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 (MEDIUM) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'). The issue affects version 3.2.16 of the software (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the user's browser session when the albumID parameter is not properly sanitized. This could lead to theft of sensitive information or manipulation of the web application's content (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability was addressed in subsequent versions of Lychee. Users should upgrade to a version newer than 3.2.16 to mitigate this security issue (Lychee Releases).
