Summary

CVE-2024-23642 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting versions prior to 2.23.4 and 2.24.1 of GeoServer, an open-source Java-based geospatial software server. This issue allows authenticated administrators with workspace-level privileges to inject malicious JavaScript code into the GeoServer catalog. When the Simple SVG renderer is enabled and a user views a WMS GetMap request in the SVG Output Format, the script executes in their browser. Although access to the WMS SVG Format is default, data and service security may restrict users from triggering the XSS. Versions 2.23.4 and 2.24.1 have been released to address this issue.
