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-2023-38501 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- copyparty (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.7\n- copyparty (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.7\n- copyparty (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.7\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-2023-38501/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38501/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38501","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38501/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38501","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f54q-j679-p9hh","PYSEC-2023-132"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"copyparty file server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute scripts in victim browsers via malicious links, allowing file manipulation or account takeover on copyparty servers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"copyparty","vendor":"9001"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"copyparty is file server software. Prior to version 1.8.7, the application contains a reflected cross-site scripting via URL-parameter `?k304=...` and `?setck=...`. The worst-case outcome of this is being able to move or delete existing files on the server, or upload new files, using the account of the person who clicks the malicious link.
