An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-40879 exists.\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-2022-40879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40879/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v632-53j2-53ph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"kkFileView","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via the errorMsg parameter in kkFileView, potentially leading to session hijacking.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kkfileview","vendor":"keking"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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":"kkFileView v4.1.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) via the parameter 'errorMsg.'","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2022/CVE-2022-40879.yaml","stars":null,"title":"kkFileView 4.1.0 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40879","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40881"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40878"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-09-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-42149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43140","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-43734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-15"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36593","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-02"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-48815","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-04"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-46934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-01"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-42147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-17"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-20","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via the errorMsg parameter in kkFileView, potentially leading to session hijacking.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40879/"}
