CVE-2017-5964: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2017-5964: An issue was discovered in Emoncms through 9.8.0.

An issue was discovered in Emoncms through 9.8.0. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data in multiple HTTP GET parameters passed to the "emoncms-master/Modules/vis/visualisations/compare.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

Emoncms through 9.8.0 has a cross-site scripting weakness in a visualisation page. If an attacker can lure a user to a crafted request, script may run in that user's browser as the Emoncms site. This can affect account trust and session safety, but the source bundle does not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where Emoncms through 9.8.0 is still deployed and the compare.php visualisation route is reachable by users or the public internet. Treat this as a targeted web application risk for legacy Emoncms environments. Prioritize internet-facing or multi-user systems because browser script execution can undermine user trust and session integrity. Urgency is lower than known-exploited critical issues, but unresolved legacy exposure should be retired or remediated. Mitigation focus: Identify any Emoncms deployments and confirm whether versions are through 9.8.0.; Check Emoncms vendor guidance and GitHub issue #636 for confirmed remediation status.; Upgrade to a maintained fixed release if the vendor identifies one..
