Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Pi-hole Admin Interface is a web interface for managing Pi-hole, a network-level ad and internet tracker blocking application. From 6.0 to before 6.5, the formatInfo() function in queries.js renders data.upstream, data.client.ip, and data.ede.text into HTML without escaping when a user expands a query row in the Query Log, enabling stored HTML injection. JavaScript execution is blocked by the server's CSP (script-src 'self'). The same fields are properly escaped in the table view (rowCallback), confirming the omission was an oversight. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.5.
AnalysisAI
Stored HTML injection in Pi-hole Admin Interface versions 6.0 through 6.4 allows authenticated high-privilege users to inject unescaped HTML into query log details via the formatInfo() function, affecting the upstream, client IP, and error description fields. JavaScript execution is mitigated by Content Security Policy, limiting the practical impact to HTML-based attacks such as DOM manipulation or phishing content injection. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 3.1 reflects low overall severity due to four mitigating factors: local attack vector (AV:L) limits reach to users with direct web console access, high privilege requirement (PR:H) restricts exploitation to administrators, user interaction required (UI:R) necessitates victim action to expand a query row, and confidentiality/integrity impact are low (C:L, I:L) with no availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated administrator with high-privilege access to the Pi-hole web console expands a query row in the Query Log containing attacker-controlled data in the upstream field (e.g., a malicious upstream DNS name or response that was captured as a query). The formatInfo() function renders this unescaped HTML, allowing injection of DOM elements such as `<img>` tags with malicious src attributes or `<iframe>` elements to redirect users. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Pi-hole Admin Interface version 6.5 and later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
