Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in xxl-job-admin version 2.4.0, tracked as CVE-2023-48088. The vulnerability exists in the /xxl-job-admin/joblog/logDetailPage component, which allows attackers to execute malicious JavaScript code through log file manipulation (NVD, FortiGuard).

Technical details

The vulnerability occurs when the xxl-job-admin application queries and displays log files in HTML format from the executor machine. The application does not properly sanitize the log content before rendering it in the web interface, allowing injection of malicious JavaScript code through manipulated log files stored in the default path /data/applogs/xxl-job/jobhandler/ (GitHub Issue). The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (NVD).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of users viewing the log page. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks against users with access to the log viewing functionality (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users are advised to avoid using version 2.4.0 of the xxl-job-admin package to mitigate this vulnerability. It is recommended to upgrade to a patched version when available (FortiGuard).
