AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a reflected cross‑site scripting flaw in the namecontains parameter of diskover‑community's public/selectindices.php page. An attacker can embed arbitrary JavaScript that is executed in the victim's browser when the user accesses a crafted URL. The flaw is limited to client‑side code execution and is associated with CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Any deployment of diskover‑community version 2.3.5 or earlier is affected. No additional vendor or product information is specified.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, implying rare exploitation. Exploitation requires an attacker to supply malicious input via the namecontains parameter and persuade a user to visit the URL, so the primary vector is unauthenticated web traffic. It does not provide remote code execution or privilege escalation on the server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade diskover‑community to a version newer than 2.3.5 that includes input sanitization for the namecontains parameter.
  • If an upgrade is not possible, modify the application to encode or otherwise filter the namecontains input before echoing it to the page to eliminate XSS.
  • Restrict or require authentication for access to public/selectindices.php to reduce exposure to unauthenticated users.
  • Deploy a web application firewall or similar filtering mechanism to detect and block reflected XSS payloads.
