gotify/server vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting in the application image file upload
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/gotify/server | < 2.2.2 | 2.2.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The XSS vulnerability allows authenticated users to upload .html files. With that, an attacker could execute client side scripts **if** another user opened a link, such as:
```
https://push.example.org/image/[alphanumeric string].html
```
An attacker could potentially take over the account of the user that clicked the link. Keep in mind, the Gotify UI won't natively expose such a malicious link, so an attacker has to get the user to open the malicious link in a context outside of Gotify.
### Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.2.2.
### Workarounds
You can block access to non image files via a reverse proxy in the `./image` directory.
