Description

Summary

A user with the editmyprivateinfo right or who can otherwise change their name can XSS themselves by setting their "real name" to an XSS payload.

Details

Here's the offending line: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/d45c3d69f30863f622f16eb40dd41d3ca943454a/includes/Components/CitizenComponentUserInfo.php#L137

This was introduced in 717d16af35b10dab04d434aefddbf991fc8c168c

PoC

  1. Login
  2. Go to Special:Preferences
  3. Set the real name field to a string like <script>alert("Admin with a propensity for self-XSSes")</script>
  4. Save your settings and use Citizen if it's not being used already

Impact

Any user who can change their name (whether it's through the editmyprivateinfo right or through other means) can add XSS payloads that trigger for themselves only.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update starcitizentools/citizen-skin to 2.31.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-47536 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2024-47536 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to CVE-2024-47536. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
