AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
OpenTSDB 2.3.0 is vulnerable to reflected XSS via the 'type' parameter in the /suggest endpoint.
Vulnerability
OpenTSDB version 2.3.0 contains a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the /suggest URI. The type parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. [1][2]
Exploitation
An attacker can craft a malicious URL containing a script payload in the type parameter. When a victim visits this URL, the script executes in the context of the OpenTSDB web interface. No authentication is required to access the /suggest endpoint. [1][2]
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, data theft, or defacement of the OpenTSDB web UI. [1][2]
Mitigation
No official fix or workaround is mentioned in the available references. Users should monitor the OpenTSDB project for updates. [1][2]
