Attacker needs no privileges to submit the polyglot file; victim must actively follow the download link (UI:R); XSS crosses browser security boundary into Pandora origin (S:C).

DescriptionCVE.org

Pandora is affected by a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the PDF download functionality. The /task-download/<task_id>/.../pdf endpoint verifies that the submitted file is a PDF using Pandora's content-based file-type detection, but previously returned the file using send_file(task.file.path) without explicitly specifying the MIME type or forcing it to be downloaded as an attachment.

Because Flask determines the response MIME type from the filename when a path is supplied, an attacker could submit a file whose content is recognized by Pandora as a PDF while its filename or extension causes the download endpoint to return it with a different, potentially active MIME type.

A specially crafted PDF/polyglot file could therefore be served inline and interpreted by a victim's browser as HTML or another executable web format. If a victim with access to the submitted analysis follows the PDF download link, attacker-controlled script could execute in the security context of the Pandora application, potentially allowing access to application data or actions using the victim's session.

The patch prevents the issue by explicitly returning PDF downloads with Content-Type: application/pdf, forcing Content-Disposition: attachment, and assigning a trusted .pdf filename based on the task UUID.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in the Pandora malware analysis platform's PDF download endpoint allows attacker-controlled JavaScript to execute in the security context of the application when an analyst views a crafted analysis task. An attacker submits a polyglot file that passes Pandora's content-based PDF detection but whose filename or extension causes Flask's send_file() to serve it with an active MIME type such as text/html, with no Content-Disposition: attachment header forcing browser download. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Submit polyglot PDF/HTML file to Pandora analysis queue
Delivery
Pandora content detection validates file as PDF
Exploit
Victim analyst accesses task and clicks PDF download link
Execution
Flask serves file with HTML MIME type, no attachment header
Persist
Browser renders response inline, executing embedded JavaScript
Impact
Attacker JS exfiltrates session token or performs actions as victim

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two conditions must both be satisfied for exploitation: the attacker must be able to submit a file to Pandora's analysis queue (the platform's core submission feature, which may be open to unauthenticated users or restricted depending on deployment configuration), and a victim with legitimate access to that specific analysis task must click the PDF download link. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector scores 6.9 with UI:N (no user interaction), but this conflicts with the description, which explicitly requires a victim to follow the PDF download link - a clear user-interaction dependency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker submits a polyglot binary to Pandora's file analysis queue - crafted so that its byte-level structure passes Pandora's content-based PDF detection, but its filename ends in .html or another web-executable extension. When a security analyst with access to the task later clicks the PDF download link in the analysis UI, Flask serves the file with Content-Type: text/html and no attachment header; the analyst's browser renders it inline, executing embedded JavaScript in the Pandora origin. …
Remediation Apply the upstream patch by pulling commit 668ec65a93cee327e3d925da2698849c9e65625a from https://github.com/pandora-analysis/pandora/commit/668ec65a93cee327e3d925da2698849c9e65625a, which modifies the api_task_download function in website/web/__init__.py to replace send_file(task.file.path) with send_file(task.file.path, mimetype='application/pdf', as_attachment=True, download_name=f'{task.uuid}.pdf'). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
