Date: 2024-03
Affected: pip/OctoPrint
Attack vector: xss
Category: vulnerability-disclosure
Severity: Medium
CVE: CVE-2024-28237
CWE: CWE-79
CVSS: 4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

### Impact OctoPrint versions up until and including 1.9.3 contain a vulnerability that allows malicious admins to configure or talk a victim with administrator rights into configuring a webcam snapshot URL which when tested through the "Test" button included in the web interface will execute JavaScript code in the victims browser when attempting to render the snapshot image. An attacker who successfully talked a victim with admin rights into performing a snapshot test with such a crafted URL could use this to retrieve or modify sensitive configuration settings, interrupt prints or otherwise interact with the OctoPrint instance in a malicious way. ### Patches The vulnerability will be patched in version 1.10.0. ### Workaround OctoPrint administrators are strongly advised to thoroughly vet who has admin access to their installation and what settings they modify based on instructions by strangers. ### PoC Below are the steps to reproduce the vulnerability: 1. Create a URL that responds with a malicious content type. For example, creating the following python script: ``` from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer class MyHTTPRequestHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): self.send_response(200) self.send_header('Content-Type', 'image/"onerror="alert(1)"') self.end_headers() self.wfile.write(b'Ok') def run(): server_address = ('', 8080) httpd = HTTPServer(server_addr
