Vulnerability
Overview
CVE-2024-5829 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in the avueUeditor component of the Avue framework (up to version 3.4.4). The issue exists in an unknown functionality related to video insertion, where user input is not properly sanitized, leading to the execution of arbitrary HTML and JavaScript code [1].
Exploitation
Details
The vulnerability can be triggered remotely without requiring authentication, suggesting low attack complexity. An attacker can craft a malicious payload (e.g., a specially crafted video link) that, when processed by the rich text editor, executes in the context of the victim's browser [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to perform actions such as stealing session cookies, defacing web pages, or redirecting users to malicious sites. The impact is limited to the scope of the affected component, but it could compromise the security of applications using Avue's rich text editor.
Mitigation
The vendor has indicated that the rich text component is no longer maintained, implying no patch will be released. Users are advised to disable or replace the avueUeditor component with a supported alternative to mitigate the risk [1].
