Details
Summary
CVE-2023-40183 is a vulnerability affecting DataEase, an open-source data visualization and analysis tool. Versions prior to 1.18.11 are vulnerable, allowing attackers to obtain user cookies. The vulnerability occurs because the program lacks whitelisting restrictions on file suffixes, using only the `ImageIO.read()` method to determine if a file is an image. Attackers can exploit this by synthesizing attack code into an image file with an HTML extension, allowing them to steal user cookies through accessed links. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 1.18.11, and there are no known workarounds. The potential danger lies in the unauthorized access to user cookies, which could compromise sensitive information and lead to further attacks on an organization's systems or its users' accounts.
