GHSA-gpxg-fx2g-qxj2 Kanidm: Stored HTML injection in "passkey-enrolment" partial via displayname → htmx-driven authenticated request forgery

• crates.io kanidm: < 1.9.3 → fixed in 1.9.3

Summary The kanidmd web UI renders the WebAuthn passkey-registration challenge as raw JSON inside an inline `` element using the Askama `|safe` filter. The challenge embeds the account's `displayname`, which `serde_json` serialises without escaping ``. A `displayname` containing `` therefore terminates the script element early and injects arbitrary HTML into the credential-update page. Because the page is htmx-driven and the server's CSP allows `'unsafe-eval'`, injected `hx-*` attributes can issue authenticated same-origin API requests with the viewer's bearer cookie. Impact An authenticated attacker who is a member of `idm_people_admins` can write the `displayname` of any `Person` entry — including high-privilege persons — because `idm_acp_people_pii_manage` carries no high-privilege exclusion filter. When the targeted high-privilege user later opens Add Passkey on their own credential-update page (`/ui/reset`), the injected markup is swapped into the DOM and htmx fires attacker-chosen same-origin requests authenticated as the victim. This allows a helpdesk-tier operator to escalate to `idm_admins` (e.g. by POSTing themselves into the group) or otherwise act with the victim's session. The self-write path (`idm_people_self_name_write`) is self-XSS only and is not counted toward impact. Even without the htmx vector, the breakout permits `` open-redirect and arbitrary defacement of the credential page.
