DescriptionCVE.org

Dolibarr 11.0.3 contains a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability in LDAP synchronization settings that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts through multiple parameters. Attackers can exploit the host, slave, and port parameters in /dolibarr/admin/ldap.php to execute arbitrary JavaScript and potentially steal user cookie information.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations using LDAP synchronization settings that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2020-36966, a cross-site scripting vulnerability rated CVSS 6.4. Attackers could inject scripts to steal sessions or perform actions as authenticated users. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.

Business Impact: Low

Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: implement CSP headers, enable HttpOnly cookies, deploy WAF XSS rules.
