Affected packages
• PyPI Products.ATContentTypes: < 3.0.6 → fixed in 3.0.6
Description
Impact
Plone is vulnerable to reflected cross site scripting and open redirect when an attacker can get a compromised version of the image_view_fullscreen page in a cache, for example in Varnish.
The technique is known as cache poisoning.
Any later visitor can get redirected when clicking on a link on this page.
Usually only anonymous users are affected, but this depends on your cache settings.
Patches
A new version 3.0.6 of Products.ATContentTypes has been released with a fix.
This version works on Plone 5.2 (Python 2 only) and will be included in Plone 5.2.7.
Note that the Products.CMFPlone package has the same problem in the 4.3 series.
`plone.app.contenttypes` has the same problem in all versions, see advisory.
For all unpatched versions of the three packages, you can use the following workaround.
Workaround
Make sure the image_view_fullscreen page is not stored in the cache.
In Plone:
• Login as Manager and go to Site Setup.
• Go to the 'Caching' control panel. If this does not exist, or 'Enable caching' is not checked, you should normally not be vulnerable.
• Click on the tab 'Caching operations'.
• Under 'Legacy template mappings' locate the ruleset 'Content item view'.
• From the last column ('Templates') remove 'image_view_fullscreen'.
• Click on Save.
