Incomplete HTML escaping in Xapian::MSet::snippet() within xapian-core exposes web applications using this search library to cross-site scripting attacks via a missed corner case of the previously patched CVE-2018-0499. Affected versions include all xapian-core releases before 2.1.0 and before 1.4.32. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but applications that render snippet() output directly into web pages without additional sanitization are at real risk.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability in queryparser/termgenerator_internal.cc in Xapian xapian-core before 1.4.6 exists due to incomplete HTML escaping by Xapian::MSet::snippet(). Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability could allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
