GHSA-xx6g-jj35-pxjv
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in wsgidav when directory browsing is enabled
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Implementations using this library with directory browsing enabled may be susceptible to [Cross Site Scripting (XSS)](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/) attacks.
### Patches
Users can upgrade to v4.1.0
### Workarounds
Set `dir_browser.enable = False` in the configuration. For instance, when using a Python dictionary to configure the library:
```
config = {
# your normal configuration
"dir_browser": {
"enable": False
},
}
app = WsgiDAVApp(config)
```
### For more information
Note that an attacker cannot exploit this vulnerability, by simply uploading a file or folder with a manipulated file name.
However if the WsgiDAV library is used in a scenario where untrusted data is displayed in the directory browser's user interface (e.g. 'realm' or user name, ...) XSS may happen.
