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-2023-4451 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- cockpit-hq/cockpit (Packagist): affected all versions up to 2.6.3; no fix listed\n- cockpit-hq/cockpit (Packagist): affected all versions up to 2.6.3; 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-2023-4451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4451/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4451/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4451","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g3mv-64h3-h482"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cockpit CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in Cockpit CMS allows attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntrdev","cpe":[{"product":"cockpit","vendor":"agentejo"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","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":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in GitHub repository cockpit-hq/cockpit prior to 2.6.4.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"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/2023/CVE-2023-4451.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Cockpit - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in cockpit-hq/cockpit","id":"CVE-2023-4451","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Packagist","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Web Server Buffer Overflow Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-4452"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.6.3"],"package":"cockpit-hq/cockpit","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-g3mv-64h3-h482"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["2.6.3"],"package":"cockpit-hq/cockpit","purl":"pkg:composer/cockpit-hq/cockpit","source":"GHSA-g3mv-64h3-h482"}],"prev":{"headline":"jeecgboot JimuReport Template injection","id":"CVE-2023-4450"},"products":["cockpit-hq/cockpit"],"published":"2023-08-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"PHP Remote File Inclusion in cockpit-hq/cockpit","id":"CVE-2023-4195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability on Cockpit CMS from Agentejo","id":"CVE-2024-4825","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Removal of Sensitive Information Before Storage or Transfer in cockpit-hq/cockpit","id":"CVE-2022-2818","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35131","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35847","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35848","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-30"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-13","vendors":["cockpit-hq"]},"summary":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in Cockpit CMS allows attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4451/"}
