Cross-Site Scripting in BookStack
Impact
A user with permission to create comments could POST HTML directly to the system to be saved in a comment, which would then be executed/displayed to others users viewing the comment. Through this vulnerability custom JavaScript code could be injected and therefore ran on other user machines.
This most impacts scenarios where not-trusted users are given permission to create comments.
Patches
The issue was addressed in BookStack v0.29.2.
After upgrading, The command php artisan bookstack:regenerate-comment-content should be ran to remove any pre-existing dangerous content.
Workarounds
Comments can be disabled in the system settings to prevent them being shown to users. Alternatively, comment creation permissions can be altered as required to only those who are trusted but this will not address existing exploitation of this vulnerability.
