Collabora Online is a collaborative office suite that allows multiple users to edit documents in real-time. A vulnerability in the editor page allows attackers to inject malicious HTML by crafting a special URL and tricking a user into clicking it. Without proper security protections, this can expose the user's session authentication token and document contents to the attacker.

Ensure that any reverse proxy in front of Collabora Online does not strip the Content Security Policy header sent by coolwsd.

Technical details

The `host_session_id` query/form parameter is substituted into the `cool.html` editor page without HTML encoding, differing from other parameters that use an existing variable-encoding mechanism. An attacker can inject arbitrary HTML and, absent a Content Security Policy, execute scripts in the Collabora Online iframe's origin to steal session tokens and page data. The fix applies consistent HTML encoding to all variable substitutions via the variable-extraction mechanism.
