CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Vulnerability Details:
Adding images from external sources to HTML editors by drag&drop can potentially lead to script code execution in the context of the active user. To exploit this, a user needs to be tricked to use a image from a specially crafted website and add it to HTML editor areas of OX App Suite, for example E-Mail Compose or OX Text. This specific attacks circumvents typical XSS filters and detection mechanisms since the code is not loaded from an external service but injected locally.

Risk:
Malicious script code can be executed within a users context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted actions via the web interface (sending mail, deleting data etc.). To exploit this vulnerability, a attacker needs to convince a user to follow specific steps (social-engineering).

Steps to reproduce:
Create a website that contains an image where the images <a> tag contains specific script code as "onload" or "onerror" parameters. Adding conditions to the code helps to avoid early discovery of the malicious code.

Solution:
Users should not include content from untrusted external sources. External content may be downloaded first and then added to avoid the attack vector. Switching to plain-text mode mitigates this attack for E-Mail. Operators should update to the latest Patch Release
