CVE-2023-40024

Description

ScanCode.io is a server to script and automate software composition analysis pipelines. In the /license/ endpoint, the detailed view key is not properly validated and sanitized, which can result in a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability when attempting to access a detailed license view that does not exist. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into the response generated by the license_details_view function. When unsuspecting users visit the page, their browsers will execute the injected scripts, leading to unauthorized actions, session hijacking, or stealing sensitive information. This issue has been addressed in release 32.5.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
