# CVE-2024-25976: Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS)

- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fix: a fix or patch is referenced
- Published: 2024-05-29 · Updated: 2025-03-17

## Affected

- Interaction Design Team at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim/Germany HAWKI: versions before commit 146967f

## Description

When LDAP authentication is activated in the configuration it is possible to obtain reflected XSS execution by creating a custom URL that the victim only needs to open in order to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the victim's browser. This is due to a fault in the file login.php where the content of "$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']" is reflected into the HTML of the website. Hence the attacker does not need a valid account in order to exploit this issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Interaction Design Team at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim/Germany HAWKI, apply the referenced fix per the references below.
