Summary Cross site scripting (XSS) potentially exposing cookies / sessions / localStorage, fixed by sidekiq-unique-jobs v8.0.7. Specifically, this is a Reflected (Server-Side), Non-Self, Cross Site Scripting vulnerability, considered a P3 on the BugCrowd taxonomy with the following categorization: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Reflected Non-Self It was initially thought there was a second vulnerability (RCE), but it was a false alarm. Injection is impossible with Redis: String escaping and NoSQL injection The Redis protocol has no concept of string escaping, so injection is impossible under normal circumstances using a normal client library. The protocol uses prefixed-length strings and is completely binary safe. Ref: https://redis.io/docs/management/security/ XSS Vulnerability Specially crafted GET request parameters handled by any of the following endpoints of sidekiq-unique-jobs' "admin" web UI, allow a super-user attacker, or an unwitting, but authorized, victim, who has received a…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-25122

Advisory: XSS sidekiq-unique-jobs UI server vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2024-25122, GHSA-cmh9-rx85-xj38
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-25122 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:48 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: sidekiq-unique-jobs 8.0.7, 7.1.33. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- RubyGems sidekiq-unique-jobs: affected >= 8.0.0, < 8.0.7; >= 6.0.0.rc7, < 7.1.33; fixed in 8.0.7, 7.1.33

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- RubyGems sidekiq-unique-jobs: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on sidekiq-unique-jobs.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cmh9-rx85-xj38 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-cmh9-rx85-xj38 lists affected ranges: RubyGems sidekiq-unique-jobs >=8.0.0 =6.0.0.rc7 <7.1.33)
