Shaarli vulnerabilities

A security flaw has been discovered in Shaarli up to 0.16.3. The affected element is the function MetadataController of the file application/front/controller/admin/MetadataController.php of the Admin Metadata Endpoint component. Manipulation of the url argument results in server-side request forgery. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 0.16.4 is sufficient to fix this issue.

Shaarli before version 0.16.3 is vulnerable to stored XSS in BookmarkListController.php. The permalink handler concatenates the raw bookmark title into the page title and emits it into the <title> element without HTML escaping. A bookmark title containing </title><script>...</script> can execute a script in the Shaarli origin for any visitor. An attacker can convince an administrator to bookmark a malicious URL, leading to administrator account takeover.

Shaarli, a personal bookmarking service, contains a stored XSS vulnerability in the tag filtering functionality in versions 0.16.1 and prior. An authenticated user can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the tags field when creating a bookmark, leading to the storage of a malicious payload in the database.

Shaarli is a personal bookmarking service that versions 0.16.1 and prior contain a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Markdown-to-HTML conversion process used in the Bookmark Description field. An authenticated user can inject a malicious javascript: URI inside a Markdown link.
