Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apache Sling Servlets Post versions prior to 2.3.22
Description
The issue concerns the Javascript method
Sling.evalString() which uses the javascript eval function to parse input strings. This allows for XSS attacks by passing specially crafted input strings.Recommendations
For versions prior to 2.3.22, update to version 2.3.22 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
Sling.evalString() method to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
