DescriptionCVE.org

YOURLS is a self-hosted, customizable URL shortener written in PHP. From 1.5.1 until 1.10.4, YOURLS stores the HTTP Referer header through yourls_get_referrer(), yourls_sanitize_url_safe(), and yourls_log_redirect(), then aggregates the value in yourls-infos.php and passes the derived domain through yourls_get_domain(), yourls_stats_pie(), and yourls_google_array_to_data_table(). The chart builder concatenates labels into inline JavaScript without JavaScript-string escaping, so an unauthenticated attacker can poison the statistics of an existing short URL with a crafted referrer. When an administrator or public stats-page viewer opens the affected statistics page, attacker-controlled JavaScript executes in the YOURLS origin and can access admin-visible data, the API signature token, and privileged same-origin actions. This issue is fixed in version 1.10.4.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in YOURLS 1.5.1 through 1.10.3 enables unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into per-link statistics pages by sending a crafted HTTP Referer header to any existing short URL - no account or special access required for the poisoning step. When an administrator or public stats-page visitor subsequently opens the affected short URL's statistics page, attacker-controlled code executes in the YOURLS origin, granting access to the API signature token, admin-visible session data, and privileged same-origin actions. …
