CVE-2024-32887
Description
A reflected Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in Rubygem Sidekiq. The value of the substr parameter is reflected in the response without any encoding, allowing an attacker to inject Javascript code into the response of the application. An attacker could exploit this to target the users of the Sidekiq Web UI and users of other applications deployed on the same domain or website as that of the Sidekiq website. This issue potentially compromises user accounts and data, forcing the users to perform sensitive actions that involve stealing sensitive data, performing CORS attacks, or defacement of the web application.
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).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
