HAL Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability of user input when storing it in a data store

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 6, 2025 in hal/console • Updated May 6, 2025

Package

maven org.jboss.hal:hal-console (Maven)

Affected versions

< 3.7.11.Final

Patched versions

3.7.11.Final

Description

A flaw was found in the JBoss EAP Management Console, where a stored Cross-site scripting vulnerability occurs when an application improperly sanitizes user input before storing it in a data store. When this stored data is later included in web pages without adequate sanitization, malicious scripts can execute in the context of users who view these pages, leading to potential data theft, session hijacking, or other malicious activities.

Impact

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the management console.

Patches

Fixed in HAL 3.7.11.Final

Workarounds

No workaround available

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.
