advisories | CVE-2024-30927
CVE ID: CVE-2024-30927
Description:
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is present in DerbyNet version 9.0, specifically within the `racer-results.php` component. This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the improper handling of the `racerid` parameter. The vulnerability is notably present within the HTML `<title>` tag, where the `racerid` parameter value is dynamically inserted directly into the page content without any sanitization or encoding.
Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Vendor of Product: DerbyNet - Available on GitHub: https://github.com/jeffpiazza/derbynet
Affected Product Code Base: DerbyNet - v9.0
Affected Component: racer-results.php
Attack Type: Remote
Impact: Code execution
Attack Vectors:
The XSS vulnerability can be exploited by inserting malicious JavaScript code into the `racerid` parameter of the URL. For example:
- `http://127.0.0.1:8000/racer-results.php?racerid=</title><script>alert(1)</script>`
This method demonstrates how an attacker could manipulate the `racerid` parameter to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of a user's session.
