CVE-2024-9101
CVE-2024-9101 is a reflected XSS vulnerability in phpLDAPadmin, enabling attackers to run malicious JavaScript in a user's browser. The vulnerability resides in the 'Entry Chooser' feature of phpLDAPadmin versions 1.2.1 up to 1.2.6.7, where the 'element' parameter is processed unsafely by the JavaScript 'eval' function. While exploitation requires specific conditions related to the 'opener' setting, successful exploitation allows for arbitrary script execution within the context of the victim's session. With an SVRS of 30, this vulnerability is not considered critical but still poses a security risk. Attackers can potentially hijack user sessions, steal sensitive information, or deface the affected web application. Although the CVSS score is 0, the CWE-79 classification and the presence of the "In The Wild" tag indicate that the vulnerability has been observed being exploited. Patching or mitigating this XSS flaw is crucial to protect phpLDAPadmin users.
