DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracking tool. In versions prior to 2.0.13, an unauthenticated attacker who can submit events to a Bugsink project can store arbitrary JavaScript in an event. The payload executes only if a user explicitly views the affected Stacktrace in the web UI. When Pygments returns more lines than it was given (a known upstream quirk that triggers with Ruby heredoc-style input), _pygmentize_lines() in theme/templatetags/issues.py:75-77 falls back to returning the raw input lines. mark_safe() at line 111-113 is then applied unconditionally - including to those unsanitized raw lines. Since DSN endpoints are public by Sentry protocol, no account is needed to inject. The payload sits in the database until an admin looks at the event. Successful exploitation requires that the attacker to be able to submit events to the project (i.e. knows the DSN or can access a client that uses it), the Bugsink ingest endpoint is reachable to the attacker, and an administrator explicitly views the crafted event in the UI. Under those conditions, the attacker can execute JavaScript in the administrator’s browser and act with that user’s privileges within Bugsink. Version 2.0.13 fixes the vulnerability.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in Bugsink error tracking tool before 2.0.13 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent scripts through error event submissions. PoC and patch available.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Unauthenticated attacker must have network access to Bugsink project event submission endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 9.3. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Attacker submits crafted error event containing XSS payload, developer views the error in Bugsink dashboard, attacker's JavaScript executes and steals developer session.
Remediation Update to Bugsink 2.0.13. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Verify your Bugsink version and assess whether public event submission endpoints are exposed to untrusted networks; immediately restrict network access to Bugsink if version <2.0.13. …
