Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in external service creation allows an authenticated attacker to inject HTML/script payloads into external service names, which may execute in a user's browser when rendered by administrative web interfaces. Details Prior to v2.4.0, external service registration endpoints did not strictly enforce alphanumeric character restrictions on service names. An operator or attacker with API access could register a service using a crafted name containing HTML elements (such as <iframe src="..."). If an administrative web UI rendered the unescaped service name, arbitrary script execution could occur in the context of the user's browser session. PoC 1. Create an external service JSON definition with a filename containing an XSS payload, e.g. <iframe src="javascript:alert1337".json inside a ZIP archive. 2. In external service creation, upload the ZIP and provide the matching service name: <iframe src="javascript:alert1337". 3. Upon service…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-24978

Advisory: LF Edge eKuiper: Self-XSS in External Service Creation
IDs: CVE-2025-24978, GHSA-g8rh-fjm6-h2h9
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-24978 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:29 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Low (CVSS 3.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2 2.4.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2: affected < 2.4.0; fixed in 2.4.0
- Go github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper/v2, github.com/lf-edge/ekuiper.
- 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.
