CVE-2026-40353

描述

# Stored XSS via Unescaped License Attribution Fields ## Summary The `AbstractLicenseModel.attribution_link` property in `wger/utils/models.py` constructs HTML strings by directly interpolating user-controlled fields (`license_author`, `license_title`, `license_object_url`, `license_author_url`, `license_derivative_source_url`) without any escaping. The resulting HTML is rendered in the ingredient view template using Django's `|safe` filter, which disables auto-escaping. An authenticated user can create an ingredient with a malicious `license_author` value containing JavaScript, which executes when any user (including unauthenticated visitors) views the ingredient page. ## Severity **High** (CVSS 3.1: ~7.6) - Low-privilege attacker (any authenticated non-temporary user) - Stored XSS — persists in database - Triggers on a public page (no authentication needed to view) - Can steal session cookies, perform actions as other users, redirect to phishing ## CWE CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') ## Affected Components ### Vulnerable Property **File:** `wger/utils/models.py:88-110` ```python @property def attribution_link(self): out = '' if self.license_object_url: out += f'<a href="{self.license_object_url}">{self.license_title}</a>' else: out += self.license_title # NO ESCAPING out += ' by ' if self.license_author_url: out += f'<a href="{self.license_author_url}">{self.license_author}</a>' else: out += self.license_author # NO ESCAPING out += f' is licensed under <a href="{self.license.url}">{self.license.short_name}</a>' if self.license_derivative_source_url: out += ( f'/ A derivative work from <a href="{self.license_derivative_source_url}">the ' f'original work</a>' ) return out ``` ### Unsafe Template Rendering **File:** `wger/nutrition/templates/ingredient/view.html` - **Line 171:** `{{ ingredient.attribution_link|safe }}` - **Line 226:** `{{ image.attribution_link|safe }}` ### Writable Entry Point **File:** `wger/nutrition/views/ingredient.py:154-175` ```python class IngredientCreateView(WgerFormMixin, CreateView): model = Ingredient form_class = IngredientForm # includes license_author field ``` **URL:** `login_required(ingredient.IngredientCreateView.as_view())` — any authenticated non-temporary user. **Form fields (from `wger/nutrition/forms.py:295-313`):** includes `license_author` (TextField, max_length=3500) — no sanitization. ### Models Affected 6 models inherit from `AbstractLicenseModel`: - `Exercise`, `ExerciseImage`, `ExerciseVideo`, `Translation` (exercises module) - `Ingredient`, `Image` (nutrition module) Only the **Ingredient** and nutrition **Image** models' attribution links are currently rendered with `|safe` in templates. ## Root Cause 1. `attribution_link` constructs raw HTML by string interpolation of user-controlled fields without calling `django.utils.html.escape()` or `django.utils.html.format_html()` 2. The template renders the result with `|safe`, bypassing Django's auto-escaping 3. The `license_author` field in `IngredientForm` has no input sanitization 4. The `set_author()` method only sets a default value if the field is empty — it does not sanitize user-provided values ## Reproduction Steps (Verified) ### Prerequisites - A wger instance with user registration enabled (default) - An authenticated user account (non-temporary) ### Steps 1. **Register/login** to a wger instance 2. **Create a malicious ingredient** via the web form at `/en/nutrition/ingredient/add/`: - Set `Name` to any valid name (e.g., "XSS Form Verified") - Set `Energy` to `125`, `Protein` to `10`, `Carbohydrates` to `10`, `Fat` to `5` (energy must approximately match macros) - Set `Author(s)` (license_author) to: ``` <img src=x onerror="alert(document.cookie)"> ``` - Submit the form — **the form validates and saves successfully with no sanitization** 3. **View the ingredient page** (public URL, no auth needed): - Navigate to the newly created ingredient's detail page - The XSS payload executes in the browser ### Verified PoC Output The rendered HTML in the ingredient detail page (line 171 of `ingredient/view.html`) contains: ```html <small> by <img src=x onerror=alert(1)> is licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en">CC-BY-SA 3</a> </small> ``` The `<img>` tag with `onerror` handler is injected directly into the page DOM and executes JavaScript when the browser attempts to load the non-existent image. ### Alternative API Path (ExerciseImage) For users who are "trustworthy" (account >3 weeks old + verified email): ```bash # Upload exercise image with XSS in license_author curl -X POST https://wger.example.com/api/v2/exerciseimage/ \ -H "Authorization: Token <token>" \ -F "exercise=1" \ -F "[email protected]" \ -F 'license_author=<img src=x onerror="alert(document.cookie)">' \ -F "license=2" ``` Note: ExerciseImage's `attribution_link` is not currently rendered with `|safe` in exercise templates, but the data is stored with XSS payloads and would execute if any template renders it with `|safe` in the future. The API serializer also returns the unescaped `attribution_link` data, which could cause XSS in API consumers (mobile apps, SPAs). ## Impact - **Session hijacking**: Steal admin session cookies to gain full control - **Account takeover**: Modify other users' passwords or email addresses - **Data theft**: Access other users' workout plans, nutrition data, and personal measurements - **Worm-like propagation**: Malicious ingredient could inject XSS that creates more malicious ingredients - **Phishing**: Redirect users to fake login pages ## Suggested Fix Replace the `attribution_link` property with properly escaped HTML using Django's `format_html()`: ```python from django.utils.html import format_html, escape @property def attribution_link(self): parts = [] if self.license_object_url: parts.append(format_html('<a href="{}">{}</a>', self.license_object_url, self.license_title)) else: parts.append(escape(self.license_title)) parts.append(' by ') if self.license_author_url: parts.append(format_html('<a href="{}">{}</a>', self.license_author_url, self.license_author)) else: parts.append(escape(self.license_author)) parts.append(format_html( ' is licensed under <a href="{}">{}</a>', self.license.url, self.license.short_name )) if self.license_derivative_source_url: parts.append(format_html( '/ A derivative work from <a href="{}">the original work</a>', self.license_derivative_source_url )) return mark_safe(''.join(str(p) for p in parts)) ``` Alternatively, remove the `|safe` filter from the templates and escape in the property, though this would break the anchor tags. ## References - [Django Security: Cross Site Scripting (XSS) protection](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/security/#cross-site-scripting-xss-protection) - [Django `format_html()` documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/utils/#django.utils.html.format_html) - [OWASP: Stored Cross-Site Scripting](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/#stored-xss-attacks)
