This vulnerability, first published on April 29, 2024, has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating a high severity level. The vulnerability allows attackers to inject and execute malicious code in a user's web browser, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information, session hijacking, and other malicious activities. Immediate action is recommended to mitigate the potential impact of this vulnerability.
Technical Information
CVE-2024-4304 is classified as a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, specifically identified under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). The vulnerability affects the Titular parameter in the 'Gestion Documental > Seguimiento de Expedientes > Alta de Expedientes' feature of GT3 Soluciones SWAL. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 reflects its high severity, with a CVSS vector of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The exploitability score is 2.3, and the impact score is 2.7.
The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject and execute malicious code in a user's web browser by exploiting the Titular parameter. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, session hijacking, and other malicious activities. The attack requires user interaction and low privileges, making it relatively easy to exploit. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because it can be exploited remotely, and the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is significant.
The affected component, the Titular parameter, is a critical part of the 'Gestion Documental > Seguimiento de Expedientes > Alta de Expedientes' feature. This feature is widely used in document management and tracking systems, making the vulnerability particularly dangerous for organizations relying on GT3 Soluciones SWAL for their document management needs.

Workaround and Mitigation
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2024-4304, organizations should implement the following strategies:
Input Validation: Implement strict input validation to ensure that all user inputs conform to expected formats and values. This can help prevent malicious code from being injected into the system.
Output Encoding: Use appropriate output encoding to neutralize any potentially harmful characters before rendering them in the web browser. This can help prevent the execution of malicious code.
Security Libraries: Utilize security libraries such as Microsoft’s Anti-XSS library, OWASP ESAPI Encoding module, and Apache Wicket to handle encoding and escaping. These libraries can provide additional protection against XSS attacks.
Regular Updates: Ensure that the software is regularly updated with the latest security patches provided by the vendor. This can help address any newly discovered vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of exploitation.
