Description
ProjectSend r2029 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in thumbnails-regenerate.php that allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript by supplying unsanitized values in the start_date and end_date GET parameters, which are echoed unescaped into HTML attribute values. Attackers can craft a malicious URL that, when followed by an authenticated victim with edit_settings permissions, executes injected scripts in the application origin to steal session cookies or perform unauthorized actions including user management, file management, and application settings changes.

Impact

ProjectSend r2029 has a reflected cross‑site scripting vulnerability located in thumbnails‑regenerate.php. Unsanitized start_date and end_date GET parameters are inserted unescaped into HTML attribute values, allowing attackers to craft URLs that inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript. When an authenticated user with edit_settings permissions requests the malicious URL, the injected scripts execute within the application origin. This can be exploited to steal session cookies or perform unauthorized actions such as user management, file management, and application setting changes.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the ProjectSend project, specifically versions up to and including r2029.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 indicates a medium severity vulnerability. The EPSS score is not provided, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires the victim to be logged in with edit_settings permissions and to follow a specially crafted URL that supplies malicious start_date and end_date values. Given the medium severity and lack of publicly known exploits, the risk is moderate, but the potential impact on confidentiality and integrity remains significant.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade ProjectSend to a version that includes the fix for the thumbnails‑regenerate.php XSS issue.
  • Limit the edit_settings permission to trusted users only and review user roles to ensure only authorized personnel can execute this script.
  • Implement input validation or a Web Application Firewall that sanitizes the start_date and end_date parameters before they are rendered in HTML.
