CVE-2024-56408 Details
Description
PhpSpreadsheet is a PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. Versions prior to 3.7.0, 2.3.5, 2.1.6, and 1.29.7 have no sanitization in the `/vendor/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet/samples/Engineering/Convert-Online.php` file, which leads to the possibility of a cross-site scripting attack. Versions 3.7.0, 2.3.5, 2.1.6, and 1.29.7 contain a patch for the issue.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the PHPOffice PhpSpreadsheet library, specifically in versions 3.6.0 prior to 3.7.0, 2.1.5, and 2.3.4. The issue arises from a lack of input sanitization in the 'Convert-Online.php' sample file, located within the 'Engineering' folder. This oversight allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript that is executed in the context of the user's browser.
Users can update to PhpSpreadsheet versions 3.7.0, 2.3.5, 2.1.6, or 1.29.7, all of which include the necessary patch to address this vulnerability.
