CVE-2024-23821

Summary

CVE-2024-23821 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting GeoServer, an open-source Java software for managing and sharing geospatial data. This issue, present in versions prior to 2.23.4 and 2.24.1, grants authenticated administrators with workspace-level privileges the ability to insert a malicious JavaScript payload in the GeoServer catalog. When accessed by other users on the GWC Demos Page, this payload can execute in their browsers. Although access to the GWC Demos Page is accessible to all users, data security may restrict the triggering of the XSS. Versions 2.23.4 and 2.24.1 include a patch to resolve this vulnerability.
