CVE-2025-34308
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 through the UPDATE_VALUE parameter when updating the default time synchronization settings. When the default values displayed on the Time Server page are updated, the application issues an HTTP POST request to /cgi-bin/time.cgi, and the synchronization value is provided in the UPDATE_VALUE parameter. The value of this parameter is stored and later rendered in the web interface without proper sanitation or encoding, allowing injected scripts to execute in the context of other users who view the affected Time Server configuration 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 a través del parámetro UPDATE_VALUE al actualizar la configuración predeterminada de sincronización de hora. Cuando se actualizan los valores predeterminados mostrados en la página del servidor de hora, la aplicación emite una solicitud HTTP POST a /cgi-bin/time.cgi, y el valor de sincronización se proporciona en el parámetro UPDATE_VALUE. El valor de este parámetro se almacena y luego se renderiza en la interfaz web sin una sanitización o codificación adecuadas, permitiendo que los scripts inyectados se ejecuten en el contexto de otros usuarios que ven la página de configuración del servidor de hora afectada."
