DescriptionCVE.org

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in diskover-community <= 2.3.5 in public/selectindices.php via the namecontains parameter

AnalysisAI

Reflected XSS in diskover-community 2.3.5 and earlier allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into a victim's browser session by tricking an authenticated user into clicking a crafted URL with a malicious namecontains parameter targeting public/selectindices.php. A public proof-of-concept writeup exists on GitHub, though EPSS rates exploitation probability at 0.01% (1st percentile) and CISA has not added this to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. SSVC confirms the exploit exists but flags the attack as non-automatable due to required user interaction, limiting realistic risk to targeted phishing scenarios.

Technical ContextAI

diskover-community is an open-source PHP-based file search and data management platform. The vulnerability resides in public/selectindices.php, which accepts user-supplied input via the namecontains parameter and reflects it into the HTML response without adequate output encoding or sanitization. CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) is the root cause - the PHP application embeds the raw parameter value into the rendered DOM without escaping HTML metacharacters such as angle brackets, quotes, or script tags. The CVSS scope-changed flag (S:C) indicates the injected script executes in the victim's browser security context rather than the server's, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or UI redress attacks originating from the application's trusted origin. No CPE string was provided in the input data; the affected product boundary is established by NVD and the EUVD entry EUVD-2026-25891.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the provided references include vendor website URLs but no specific advisory page or changelog entry with a confirmed fixed version. Organizations should monitor http://diskoverdata.com and the upstream GitHub repository for a patched release beyond version 2.3.5 and upgrade promptly when available. As an immediate compensating control, deploy a Web Application Firewall rule to block or HTML-encode requests to /public/selectindices.php where the namecontains parameter contains HTML metacharacters (<, >, ', ", or the string 'script'); note this may introduce false positives for legitimate search queries containing special characters. Where feasible, restrict access to the selectindices.php endpoint to trusted internal IP ranges or VPN-authenticated sessions to reduce the phishing attack surface without affecting core search functionality. If the index-selection feature is not actively used, consider removing or serving public/selectindices.php from a location inaccessible to unauthenticated users as a temporary measure. Ensuring session cookies are flagged HttpOnly will limit the impact of any successful XSS by preventing document.cookie exfiltration, though UI-redress and form-hijacking attacks would remain viable.
