Researcher Report

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #13883 +++

I am a vulnerability analyst at VulnCheck responsible for managing our coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) process. A researcher reported this vulnerability affecting IPFire, and VulnCheck is acting as the intermediary and coordinator.

We have tentatively reserved CVE-2025-34215, which have been shared with the researcher but will remain private until public disclosure:

Please be aware that none of this information is public at this moment and all participants are considered under embargo.

VulnCheck follows a 120-day disclosure policy, meaning we allow vendors/maintainers up to 120 days from the time of receiving the report to address the issues before publishing our advisory. For this vulnerability, that 120-day deadline falls on January 21, 2025.

---

When a new Dynamic DNS host is added, an HTTP POST request is sent to the Request-URI "/cgi-bin/ddns.cgi". The values of the parameters LOGIN, PASSWORD, and SERVICE are saved and displayed. The value of the SERVICE parameter is displayed after the host entry is created and the values of the LOGIN and PASSWORD parameters are displayed when that host entry is edited.

The values of the parameters LOGIN, PASSWORD, and SERVICE are never sanitized of HTML-related characters/strings. This can result in cross-site scripting.

The attacker must be authenticated.
