AI Analysis

Impact

BharatMLStack’s Trufflebox UI stores the JWT authentication token, the full user object and the session ID in the browser’s localStorage. Because localStorage is accessible to any JavaScript executing in the page context, an attacker who can inject or otherwise run code on the site can read these secrets. The compromised credentials allow the attacker to impersonate the user, hijack the session, or perform unauthorized actions with the user’s privileges.

Affected Systems

BharatMLStack Trufflebox UI up to and including version 1.3.0 is affected. The vulnerability is limited to this product; no other vendors or products are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

Based on the description, it is inferred that the likely attack vector is a malicious script executed in the browser, such as via a reflected or stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability. The flaw is client‑side and requires a malicious script to run in the browser. The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium‑severity impact, while the EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the exposure of authentication data is concerning because any code execution on the page can read localStorage and obtain JWTs. Remediation should be treated as a priority to prevent credential theft and session hijack.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a BharatMLStack release that removes authentication data from localStorage or stores it in HttpOnly cookies
  • Deploy a strict Content Security Policy that limits script execution to trusted sources and disallows inline scripts
  • Sanitize or remove third‑party scripts and enforce server‑side input validation to mitigate cross‑site scripting
