An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-16881 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16881/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16881/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16881","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16881/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16881","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9jvg-42fv-8hwv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symphony blog platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Symphony allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted avatar URLs, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"symphony","vendor":"symphony_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"b3log Symphony (aka Sym) 2.2.0 does not properly address XSS in JSON objects, as demonstrated by a crafted userAvatarURL value to /settings/avatar, related to processor/AdminProcessor.java, processor/ArticleProcessor.java, processor/UserProcessor.java, service/ArticleQueryService.java, service/AvatarQueryService.java, and service/CommentQueryService.java.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16881","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16882"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"filp whoops Cross-site Scripting vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-16880"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16956","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Symphony allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via crafted avatar URLs, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16881/"}
