Description
Dolibarr before 24.0.0 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the extra fields administration template where the type request parameter is echoed without JavaScript-context encoding into an inline script block and no Content-Security-Policy header is emitted. An unauthenticated attacker can cause an authenticated administrator to open a crafted URL to execute arbitrary JavaScript in that session and create a persistent administrator account.

AI Analysis

Impact

Dolibarr versions prior to 24.0.0 contain a reflected cross‑site scripting flaw in the extra fields administration template. The flaw arises because the type request parameter is echoed directly into an inline script block without proper JavaScript‑context encoding, and no Content‑Security‑Policy header is sent. An attacker who can craft a malicious URL can cause an administrator to load the URL, resulting in arbitrary JavaScript execution within the administrator's session and the creation of a new persistent administrator account.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Dolibarr application from the Dolibarr vendor, specifically all releases before version 24.0.0. Users running those older versions are at risk unless they upgrade to 24.0.0 or later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 places this vulnerability in the medium severity range. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attack requires an unauthenticated attacker to entice an authenticated administrator to visit a crafted URL, the exploit path is non‑remote and leverages social engineering. Nevertheless, once the URL is visited, arbitrary JavaScript runs in the administrator's browser context with the credentials and privileges of that user, enabling the attacker to create a new administrator account and gain elevated access to the affected system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Dolibarr to version 24.0.0 or later to apply the patch that removes the reflected XSS vector
  • Configure the application to emit a Content‑Security‑Policy header that restricts inline scripting and disallows execution from unsanitized parameters
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict access to the administration interface to trusted users or IP ranges and monitor for unexpected administrator account activity
