Description

Withdrawn Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because the vulnerability affects October CMS's installer, not October CMS. The installer deletes all folders and files upon completion of installation. The vulnerability is valid, but because October's installer is not part of one of the GitHub Advisory Database's supported ecosystems, alerts cannot be sent out for the correct package.

Corrected Description

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the installer of October CMS allows an attacker to execute arbitrary web scripts via a crafted payload injected into the dbhost field.

CVSS v3 base metrics

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.
