Description

When editing a user, group or any object in the Syncope Console, HTML tags could be added to any text field and could lead to potential exploits. The same vulnerability was found in the Syncope Enduser, when editing "Personal Information" or "User Requests".

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.8, which fixes this issue.

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.apache.syncope.client.idrepo:syncope-client-idrepo-common-ui, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.apache.syncope.client.idrepo:syncope-client-idrepo-common-ui to 3.0.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8pxv-x6jq-5vw9 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.
