Not scored
Published
Check this codebase for GHSA-7644-cxp8-h23r and fix it if it is affected.
What it is: GHSA-7644-cxp8-h23r is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in ibexa/admin-ui, published on 10 Nov 2022. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of GHSA-7644-cxp8-h23r in the wild and no public exploit code.
Affected packages and fixed versions:
- ibexa/admin-ui (Packagist): affected from 4.2.0; fixed in 4.2.3
- ibexa/admin-ui (Packagist): affected from 4.2.0; fixed in 4.2.3
Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.

What is GHSA-7644-cxp8-h23r?
GHSA-7644-cxp8-h23r is a cross-site scripting vulnerability in ibexa/admin-ui, published on 10 Nov 2022. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Critical severity. It is possible to inject JavaScript XSS in the content type entries "name" and "short name". To exploit this, one must already have permission to edit content types, which limits it in many cases to people who are already administrators. However, please verify which users have this permission. The fix ensures any injections are escaped.
