Autolab, a course management service for auto-graded programming assignments, contains an HTML injection vulnerability in version 3.0.1 that affects instructors and Course Assistants (CAs) on the grade submissions page. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on November 18, 2024, and has been assigned identifier CVE-2024-52585 (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) issue. It has received 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.

Impact

Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been patched in Autolab version 3.0.2. For those unable to update immediately, a manual fix is available by modifying line 589 in gradesheet.js.erb to process feedback as text rather than HTML. This change prevents the HTML injection vulnerability (GitHub Patch).
