A vulnerability was found in Cockpit versions up to 2.11.3. This issue affects some unknown processing instances of the file /system/users/save. The manipulation of the arguments "name" or "email" leads to cross-site scripting. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 2.11.4 will address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure and acted accordingly. A patch and new release were made available very quickly.
### Summary Short descriptions are not properly sanitized by the ShortDescription before being inserted as HTML using `mw.util.addSubtitle`, allowing any user to insert arbitrary HTML into the DOM by editing a page. ### Details The description provided by the user via the `{{SHORTDESC:}}` parser function is insufficiently sanitized by the `sanitize()` function, as html entities are decoded: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-ShortDescription/blob/7244b1e8b5cb6dbd7e546c5be7fed8a56e33d065/includes/Hooks/ParserHooks.php#L147-L159 Via JS, the short description is then passed to `mw.util.addSubtitle`, which inserts it as raw HTML: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-extensions-ShortDescription/blob/7244b1e8b5cb6dbd7e546c5be7fed8a56e33d065/modules/ext.shortDescription.js#L8 https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/96372101b3c579d9992e8a31a3ccd90a937cac47/resources/src/mediawiki.util/util.js#L552-L563 ### PoC 1.

### Summary Short descriptions set via the [ShortDescription extension](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ShortDescription) are inserted as raw HTML by the Citizen skin, allowing any user to insert arbitrary HTML into the DOM by editing a page. ### Details The `shortdesc` property, which contains unsanitized user input, is retrieved from the OutputPage and returned as the tagline: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/0d8a44011e02a081618359a1e90f462478e807aa/includes/Components/CitizenComponentPageHeading.php#L249-L251 The tagline is then provided to the template data: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/0d8a44011e02a081618359a1e90f462478e807aa/includes/Components/CitizenComponentPageHeading.php#L270-L275 The template then inserts the tagline into raw HTML without doing any escaping: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/0d8a44011e02a081618359a1e90f462478e807aa/templates/PageHeading.mustache#L12 ...
### Summary Page descriptions are inserted into raw HTML without proper sanitization by the Citizen skin when using the old search bar. ### Details The descriptions, which are unsanitized, are inserted as raw HTML: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/d4dfc3697a82948b3b9c4d44e9a273c79bc86b87/resources/skins.citizen.search/templates/TypeaheadListItem.mustache#L18 ### PoC All of the reproduction methods require the command palette to be disabled via `$wgCitizenEnableCommandPalette = false;`. Additionally, the action API must be used as the Search Gateway via `$wgCitizenSearchGateway = 'mwActionApi';`. #### TextExtracts as the description source * Enable the TextExtracts extension * Add `$wgCitizenSearchDescriptionSource = 'textextracts';` to your LocalSettings.php * Create a page called `CitizenXSSTextExtracts` and insert `<img src="" onerror="alert('citizen search xss')">` into it * Open the search modal and search for `CitizenXSSTextExtracts` . ### PoC 1.
