CVE-2017-5961: An issue was discovered in ionize through 1.0.8.

An issue was discovered in ionize through 1.0.8. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data in the "path" HTTP GET parameter passed to the "ionize-master/themes/admin/javascript/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/codemirror/dialog.php" URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-5961 is a cross-site scripting issue in Ionize through 1.0.8. A crafted request to a TinyMCE CodeMirror dialog parameter could make a victim’s browser run attacker-controlled script in the vulnerable site’s context. Exposure is likely limited to Ionize deployments through version 1.0.8 where the affected admin TinyMCE CodeMirror dialog is reachable. Publicly exposed admin paths increase risk. Treat as a targeted web application risk, not a confirmed emergency. Prioritize internet-facing Ionize admin deployments and systems handling privileged sessions or sensitive content. Mitigation focus: Identify any Ionize deployments at or below version 1.0.8.; Check the Ionize project issue and vendor guidance for fixed versions or workarounds.; Restrict access to Ionize admin and TinyMCE plugin paths where possible..
