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-2018-16481 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- html-pages (npm): affected all versions up to 3.1.0; no fix listed\n- html-pages (npm): affected all versions up to 3.1.0; no fix listed\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-2018-16481/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16481/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16481","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16481/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16481","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5p26-hw7f-3cpr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Node.js HTML page library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute malicious JavaScript in a user's browser via unsanitized paths in the html-page library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"html-pages","vendor":"html-pages_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":"A XSS vulnerability was found in html-page \u003c=2.1.1 that allows malicious Javascript code to be executed in the user's browser due to the absence of sanitization of the paths before rendering.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting in html-pages","id":"CVE-2018-16481","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"mcstatic directory traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-16482"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.1.0"],"package":"html-pages","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5p26-hw7f-3cpr"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.1.0"],"package":"html-pages","purl":"pkg:npm/html-pages","source":"GHSA-5p26-hw7f-3cpr"}],"prev":{"headline":"Tnantoka/public XSS Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-16480"},"products":["html-pages"],"published":"2019-02-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path Traversal in html-pages","id":"CVE-2018-3744","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["HackerOne"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute malicious JavaScript in a user's browser via unsanitized paths in the html-page library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16481/"}
