Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in ZeroClipboard.swf in ZeroClipboard before 1.3.2, as maintained by Jon Rohan and James M. Greene, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to certain SWF query parameters (aka loaderInfo.parameters).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is an old XSS issue in ZeroClipboard.swf, a Flash component used to copy text to the clipboard. A malicious link or page could cause script or HTML injection through SWF parameters in apps hosting affected ZeroClipboard versions. Business urgency depends on whether ZeroClipboard before 1.3.2 is still deployed.

Executive priority

Treat this as a legacy web exposure cleanup item unless inventory shows the vulnerable SWF is internet-facing in a sensitive application. Prioritize confirmation and removal because old Flash assets often persist unnoticed and can weaken browser-side trust boundaries.

Technical view

ZeroClipboard before 1.3.2 mishandled certain SWF query parameters exposed through loaderInfo.parameters, enabling multiple XSS vectors in ZeroClipboard.swf. The CVE data does not provide CVSS, CWE, or a complete affected product matrix; references identify the upstream fix and downstream advisories.

Likely exposure

Organizations are mainly exposed through legacy web applications, plugins, or packaged products that still include ZeroClipboard.swf from versions before 1.3.2. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm by asset inventory and dependency review rather than product name alone.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. XSS impact depends on where the SWF is hosted, user trust boundaries, browser behavior, and whether the vulnerable file remains reachable.

Researcher notes

Evidence is strongest for ZeroClipboard.swf before 1.3.2 and the upstream GitHub fix/release. The bundle lacks CVSS, CWE, and detailed downstream version ranges. Do not assume exploit activity; focus on reachability, bundled copies, and whether vendor-maintained packages incorporated the fix.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade ZeroClipboard to version 1.3.2 or later where it is still used.
  • Remove ZeroClipboard.swf from applications where clipboard Flash support is no longer required.
  • Review downstream vendor advisories for packaged copies, including Jenkins and Red Hat references.
  • Restrict public access to obsolete static assets while replacement or removal is planned.

Validation and detection

  • Search deployed web roots and build artifacts for ZeroClipboard.swf.
  • Identify ZeroClipboard package versions and confirm whether they are before 1.3.2.
  • Check public routes to determine whether the SWF is externally reachable.
  • Review dependency advisories for applications bundling ZeroClipboard, including Jenkins-related deployments.
  • Verify remediation by confirming the vulnerable SWF is upgraded, removed, or inaccessible.
