CVE-2024-10006
Description
A flaw was found in HashiCorp Consul and Consul Enterprise. The server response does not explicitly set a Content-Type HTTP header, allowing user-provided inputs to be misinterpreted and can lead to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS).
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as important severity because HashiCorp Consul fails to set a Content-Type HTTP header, allowing user inputs to be misinterpreted and potentially leading to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS). This can compromise both confidentiality and integrity, posing a risk to user data and application security, which requires prompt remediation.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
