GHSA-w6hh-w36c-vxmw: LocalAI Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its search functionality
mudler/localai version v2.21.1 contains a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its search functionality. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization of user input, allowing the injection and execution of arbitrary JavaScript code. This can lead to the execution of malicious scripts in the context of the victim’s browser, potentially compromising user sessions, stealing session cookies, redirecting users to malicious websites, or manipulating the DOM.
Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
