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-2020-25798 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- limesurvey (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 3.21.2\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-2020-25798/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25798/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-25798","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-25798/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-25798","record":{"aliases":["BIT-limesurvey-2020-25798","GHSA-95p7-w2p2-hhg2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can inject arbitrary scripts into LimeSurvey participant attributes, leading to code execution in administrators' browsers.","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":"A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in LimeSurvey before and including 3.21.1 allows authenticated users with correct permissions to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via parameter ParticipantAttributeNamesDropdown of the Attributes on the central participant database page.
