Description
GoFound through 1.4.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject scripts by submitting document text to /api/index. Attackers can index malicious HTML that searcher/engine.go returns unescaped and dashboard.vue renders with v-html, executing script in an administrator's browser when an admin search matches the document.

AI Analysis

Impact

GoFound version 1.4.1 contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that lets an unauthenticated attacker insert malicious script into the document text submitted to the /api/index endpoint. The search engine returns the stored content without escaping, and the administrator dashboard renders it with v-html, causing the script to execute in the browser of an administrator who performs a matching search. This allows the attacker to run arbitrary client‑side code within the privileged admin context.

Affected Systems

The affected product is sea‑team’s GoFound running version 1.4.1. No other versions or products are identified as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS base score of 5.1 the vulnerability is considered moderate. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker needs only network access to submit data to /api/index, after which an administrator’s use of the search feature triggers execution of the malicious script. Because the attack requires an administrator to run a search on the indexed entry, the likelihood of exploitation is constrained yet realistic in environments where the application is exposed to untrusted users and administrators frequently use the search function.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GoFound to the latest version released by sea‑team that contains the XSS fix.
  • If an upgrade is not feasible, modify searcher/engine.go to escape or otherwise sanitize all output that may be rendered by the dashboard, ensuring stored content is not rendered unescaped.
  • Restrict or eliminate write access to the /api/index endpoint so that only authenticated and authorized users can add content to the index.
  • Remove the use of v-html for displaying untrusted data in the admin dashboard or add a client‑side sanitizer before rendering.
