{"id":"CVE-2023-40024","aliases":["GHSA-6xcx-gx7r-rccj","PYSEC-2026-1905"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-40024","summary":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in scancode.io license endpoint","details":"ScanCode.io is a server to script and automate software composition analysis pipelines. In the `/license/` endpoint, the detailed view key is not properly validated and sanitized, which can result in a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when attempting to access a detailed license view that does not exist. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into the response generated by the `license_details_view` function. When unsuspecting users visit the page, their browsers will execute the injected scripts, leading to unauthorized actions, session hijacking, or stealing sensitive information. This issue has been addressed in release `32.5.2`. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","published":"2023-08-14T19:53:24.808Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:19.571425793Z","cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"scancodeio","fixedVersion":"32.5.2"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/nexB/scancode.io/blob/dd7769fbc97c84545579cebf1dc4838214098a11/CHANGELOG.rst#v3252-2023-08-14"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/40xxx/CVE-2023-40024.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/nexB/scancode.io/security/advisories/GHSA-6xcx-gx7r-rccj"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-40024"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:49:19.571425793Z"}}
