A moderate-severity Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the authentication flow of the @dapperduckling/keycloak-connector-server package. This issue, detailed in the National Vulnerability Database and GitHub Advisory Database, stems from improper sanitization of URL parameters.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious URL that, when clicked by a user, would inject malicious JavaScript code into the user’s browser. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or other malicious activities.
Affected Versions:
Versions prior to 2.5.5 are vulnerable.
Patched Versions:
Version 2.5.5 and later are not affected.
Mitigation:
To address this issue, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to version 2.5.5 or later. If immediate upgrading is not feasible, implementing workarounds, such as input validation and output encoding, can mitigate the risk.
What Undercode Says:
This vulnerability highlights the importance of secure coding practices, particularly when handling user input. Developers should always validate and sanitize user-provided data to prevent injection attacks. Regular security audits and timely patching are essential to maintain the security of applications.
