CVE-2025-34301
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
IPFire versions prior to 2.29 (Core Update 198) contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the COUNTRY_CODE parameter when creating a location group. When a user adds a new location group, the application issues an HTTP POST request with the ACTION parameter set to savelocationgrp, and the value of the COUNTRY_CODE parameter determines the flag displayed for that group. The value of this parameter is stored and later rendered in the web interface without proper sanitization or encoding, allowing malicious scripts to be executed in the context of other users viewing the affected page.

"value": "Las versiones de IPFire anteriores a la 2.29 (Core Update 198) contienen una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) almacenado que permite a un atacante autenticado inyectar código JavaScript arbitrario en el parámetro COUNTRY_CODE al crear un grupo de ubicación. Cuando un usuario añade un nuevo grupo de ubicación, la aplicación emite una solicitud HTTP POST con el parámetro ACTION establecido en savelocationgrp, y el valor del parámetro COUNTRY_CODE determina la bandera mostrada para ese grupo. El valor de este parámetro se almacena y se renderiza posteriormente en la interfaz web sin una sanitización o codificación adecuadas, permitiendo que scripts maliciosos se ejecuten en el contexto de otros usuarios que visualizan la página afectada."
