EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under the CNA's CVSS (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

StarCitizenWiki Extension Embed Video: Stored XSS via unsanitized service name in exception text

Summary

When passing an unknown service name to embedvideo, an error message is rendered containing the invalid service name. The service name is not sanitized and can contain HTML.

Details

There is a hardcoded list of allowed services in a switch statement inside EmbedServiceFactory#newFromName here. When the service name is not known, an exception is thrown with the service name injected into the message via sprintf here. This message is not sanitized and is marked as isHtml here. Similarly with {{evl: here.

PoC

// Must be on a page, not on ExpandTemplates
{{#ev:|dQw4w9WgXcQ}}
{{#evl:id=dummy|service=}}

Impact

Stored XSS that allows arbitrary Javascript/HTML insertion on any page that a user can edit. It requires no interaction and executes in the wiki origin for every visitor to the page.
