Description

An XSS vulnerability in infiniflow/ragflow version 0.12.0 allows an attacker to upload a malicious PDF file to the knowledge base. When the file is viewed within Ragflow, the payload is executed in the context of the user's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, data exfiltration, or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the victim, compromising sensitive user data and affecting the integrity of the entire application.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is changed, meaning a successful attack can affect components beyond the vulnerable one. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability none.
