Description

Passbolt Api E-mail HTML injection

Passbolt sends e-mail to users to warn them about different type of events such as the creation, modification or deletion of a password. Those e-mails may contain user-specified input, such as a password’s title or description.

Passbolt does not escape the user’s input properly, resulting in the user being able to inject HTML code in an e-mail.

An authenticated attacker could share a password containing an img HTML tag in its description with an other user to obtain information about their mail user-agent.

This vulnerability has a very low impact. Most MUA do not embed remote images to protect their users’ privacy.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, 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.
