Cross-site Scripting and Open Redirect in Products.ATContentTypes
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | Products.ATContentTypes | < 3.0.6 | 3.0.6 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### 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](https://github.com/plone/plone.app.contenttypes/security/advisories/GHSA-f7qw-5fgj-247x).
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.
