CVE-2025-62780 Details
Description
changedetection.io is a free open source web page change detection tool. A Stored Cross Site Scripting is present in changedetection.io Watch update API in versions prior to 0.50.34 due to insufficient security checks. Two scenarios are possible. In the first, an attacker can insert a new watch with an arbitrary URL which really points to a web page. Once the HTML content is retrieved, the attacker updates the URL with a JavaScript payload. In the second, an attacker substitutes the URL in an existing watch with a new URL that is in reality a JavaScript payload. When the user clicks on *Preview* and then on the malicious link, the JavaScript malicious code is executed. Version 0.50.34 fixes the issue.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in changedetection.io versions prior to 0.50.34. The issue arises in the Watch update API, where insufficient security checks allow attackers to inject JavaScript payloads. This can be done either by adding a new watch with a URL that points to a web page, which is later updated with a JavaScript payload, or by modifying an existing watch's URL to include a JavaScript payload. When the user previews the watch, the injected JavaScript is executed.
Users are advised to update to changedetection.io version 0.50.34 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
