Overview

A high severity Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in eZ Platform Admin UI, tracked as EZSA-2019-001. The vulnerability was discovered on March 12, 2019, affecting eZ Platform 2.x systems, specifically ezsystems/ezplatform-admin-ui versions 1.3.x and 1.4.x, and ezsystems/ezplatform-page-builder versions 1.1.x and 1.2.x (GitHub Advisory).

Technical details

Parts of the Admin UI were found to be vulnerable to XSS injection attacks, particularly affecting systems that allow user-generated content. The vulnerability stemmed from insufficient escaping of injected code in the Admin UI interface (EZ Security Advisory).

Impact
