DescriptionCVE.org

LinkAce is a self-hosted archive to collect website links. Prior to version 2.5.7, the Bulk Link API endpoint (POST /api/v2/bulk/links) accepts URLs without any format validation, allowing an authenticated user to store a javascript: URI. The stored URI is later rendered verbatim as an href in Blade templates, and clicking it executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser - exfiltrating cookies and session tokens. Version 2.5.7 fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in LinkAce's Bulk Link API allows any authenticated user to persist a javascript: URI that executes arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser when they click the stored link. All LinkAce instances prior to version 2.5.7 are affected via the POST /api/v2/bulk/links endpoint. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid authenticated user account on the target LinkAce instance - the CVSS PR:L vector confirms that standard (low-privilege) authenticated access is sufficient; no administrative role is needed to submit links via the Bulk API. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.3 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: network-reachable, low complexity, low privilege to inject, but requiring victim interaction to trigger. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade LinkAce to version 2.5.7 or later, which adds Laravel's built-in 'url' validation rule to BulkStoreLinksRequest.php, rejecting javascript: and other non-HTTP/HTTPS schemes before persistence. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all LinkAce deployments and identify instances running versions prior to 2.5.7. …
