CVE-2023-40024

Summary

CVE-2023-40024 is a vulnerability affecting ScanCode.io, a server used for scripting and automating software composition analysis pipelines. In the `/license/` endpoint, an issue with improper validation and sanitization of the detailed view key can lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this flaw to inject malicious scripts into the response of the `license_details_view` function. When users visit the page, their browsers execute the injected scripts, potentially resulting in unauthorized actions, session hijacking, or the theft of sensitive information. Users are strongly urged to upgrade to release 32.5.2 to mitigate this risk. At present, there are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
