Description

Yamcs 5.8.6 allows XSS (issue 2 of 2). It comes with a Bucket as its primary storage mechanism. Buckets allow for the upload of any file. There's a way to upload an HTML file containing arbitrary JavaScript and then navigate to it. Once the user opens the file, the browser will execute the arbitrary JavaScript.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.yamcs:yamcs, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.yamcs:yamcs to 5.8.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-45280 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
