An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, 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-2023-5895 exists.\n\nAffected product: pkp/pkp-lib. 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-2023-5895/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5895/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5895","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5895/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5895","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r23r-h529-fcxw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PKP library","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser via DOM-based XSS in the PKP library.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntrdev","cpe":[{"product":"pkp_web_application_library","vendor":"sfu"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/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) - DOM in GitHub repository pkp/pkp-lib prior to 3.3.0-16.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - DOM in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5895","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5896"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in pkp/ojs","id":"CVE-2023-5894"},"products":["pkp/pkp-lib"],"published":"2023-11-01","related":[{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5892","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-47271","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-05"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5902","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in pkp/pkp-lib","id":"CVE-2023-5893","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-27","vendors":["pkp"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser via DOM-based XSS in the PKP library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5895/"}
