Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-11456 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- limesurvey (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.12, 4.1.12, 4.1.13\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-2020-11456/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11456/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-11456","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11456/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-11456","record":{"aliases":["BIT-limesurvey-2020-11456","GHSA-8xmq-9rgw-vxxv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into survey group settings, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution in LimeSurvey.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"limesurvey","vendor":"limesurvey"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"LimeSurvey before 4.1.12+200324 has stored XSS in application/views/admin/surveysgroups/surveySettings.php and application/models/SurveysGroups.php (aka survey groups).","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2020-04-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2020-04-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"48289","stars":null,"title":"LimeSurvey 4.1.11 - 'Survey Groups' Persistent Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11456","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"limesurvey:limesurvey","products":["limesurvey:limesurvey"],"type":"xss","year":"2020"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11457"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["4.1.12","4.1.12","4.1.13"],"introduced":["0","4.1.12-200324","4.1.12"],"last_affected":[],"package":"limesurvey","purl":"pkg:bitnami/limesurvey","source":"BIT-limesurvey-2020-11456"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11455"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-04-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-56422","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-25019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"TCPDF vulnerable to attackers triggering deserialization of arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2018-17057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into survey group settings, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution in LimeSurvey.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-11456/"}
