CVE-2024-23640

Summary

CVE-2024-23640 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting versions prior to 2.23.3 and 2.24.0 of GeoServer, an open-source geospatial software server. This issue allows an authenticated administrator with workspace-level privileges to inject malicious JavaScript code into uploaded style/legend resources or specially crafted datastore files. The payload will execute in other users' browsers when they view the affected resources in the Style Publisher. Although the Style Publisher is accessible to all users, the data security settings may restrict users' ability to trigger the XSS attack. Versions 2.23.3 and 2.24.0 contain a patch to address this vulnerability.
