Description
xipblog module v2.0.1 and before for PrestaShop allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the name and content parameters in ajax.php. The input is stored in the database without HTML sanitization and rendered in Smarty templates without output escaping, resulting in Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). When an administrator reviews comments in the back office, the payload executes with admin-level session context, leading to full store compromise.

AI Analysis

Impact

The attacker can supply malicious code through the name and content parameters in the xipblog module’s ajax.php endpoint. The input is written to the database without sanitization and later rendered into Smarty templates without escaping, enabling a stored cross‑site scripting flaw. When an administrator views comments in the back office, the injected script runs in the context of the admin session, giving the attacker full control over the store.

Affected Systems

PrestaShop installations that use the xipblog module version 2.0.1 or older are affected. No other vendors or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is exploitable by any remote actor without authentication. The description indicates that the script executes with administrative privileges once an admin browses comments, so the impact is high. The CVSS score is 5.4, and the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is not listed as a known exploited vulnerability by CISA, but the potential for full compromise makes it a serious risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the xipblog module to version 2.0.2 or later from the vendor repository
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, modify ajax.php to perform input sanitization (e.g., strip tags) and ensure Smarty templates use output escaping
  • Consider disabling or removing the xipblog module until a patched version is released
