Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in diskover-community <= 2.3.5 within the 'public/view.php' component. The root cause is the failure to sanitize the 'doctype' request parameter before echoing it into HTML href attributes at eight distinct injection points (lines 187, 192, 196, 200, 262, 268, 276, and 288). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by inducing a logged-in user to visit a crafted URL. Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's session, which can be used to exfiltrate session cookies (PHPSESSID) or perform actions on behalf of the user. The vulnerability is reported to be chainable with CSRF flaws for automated account takeover.
