Security Advisories (9)
CVE-2020-11022 (2020-04-29)

In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.2 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.

CVE-2020-11023 (2020-04-29)

In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing <option> elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.

CVE-2019-11358 (2019-04-20)

jQuery before 3.4.0, as used in Drupal, Backdrop CMS, and other products, mishandles jQuery.extend(true, {}, ...) because of Object.prototype pollution. If an unsanitized source object contained an enumerable __proto__ property, it could extend the native Object.prototype.

CVE-2015-9251 (2018-01-18)

jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.

CVE-2011-4969 (2013-03-08)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jQuery before 1.6.3, when using location.hash to select elements, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted tag.

CVE-2012-6708 (2018-01-18)

jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common.

CVE-2020-7656 (2020-05-19)

jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. The load method fails to recognize and remove "<script>" HTML tags that contain a whitespace character, i.e: "</script >", which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed.

CVE-2019-5428

Prototype Pollution is a vulnerability affecting JavaScript. Prototype Pollution refers to the ability to inject properties into existing JavaScript language construct prototypes, such as objects. JavaScript allows all Object attributes to be altered, including their magical attributes such as _proto_, constructor and prototype. An attacker manipulates these attributes to overwrite, or pollute, a JavaScript application object prototype of the base object by injecting other values. Properties on the Object.prototype are then inherited by all the JavaScript objects through the prototype chain. When that happens, this leads to either denial of service by triggering JavaScript exceptions, or it tampers with the application source code to force the code path that the attacker injects, thereby leading to remote code execution.

CVE-2014-6071 (2018-01-16)

jQuery 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to use of the text method inside after.

NAME

Yancy::Plugin::Auth::Token - A simple token-based auth

VERSION

version 1.088

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin Yancy => {
    backend => 'sqlite://myapp.db',
    schema => {
        tokens => {
            properties => {
                id => { type => 'integer', readOnly => 1 },
                username => { type => 'string' },
                token => { type => 'string' },
            },
        },
    },
};
app->yancy->plugin( 'Auth::Token' => {
    schema => 'tokens',
    username_field => 'username',
    token_field => 'token',
    token_digest => {
        type => 'SHA-1',
    },
} );

DESCRIPTION

Note: This module is EXPERIMENTAL and its API may change before Yancy v2.000 is released.

This plugin provides a basic token-based authentication scheme for a site. Tokens are provided in the HTTP Authorization header:

Authorization: Token 

METHODS

require_user

my $subref = $c->yancy->auth->require_user( \%match );

Build a callback to validate there is a logged-in user, and optionally that the current user has certain fields set. \%match is optional and is a SQL::Abstract where clause matched with "match" in Yancy::Util.

# Ensure the user is logged-in
my $user_cb = $app->yancy->auth->require_user;
my $user_only = $app->routes->under( $user_cb );

# Ensure the user's "is_admin" field is set to 1
my $admin_cb = $app->yancy->auth->require_user( { is_admin => 1 } );
my $admin_only = $app->routes->under( $admin_cb );

CONFIGURATION

This plugin has the following configuration options.

schema

The name of the Yancy schema that holds tokens. Required.

token_field

The name of the field to use for the token. Defaults to token. The token itself is meaningless except to authenticate a user. It must be unique, and it should be treated like a password.

token_digest

This is the hashing mechanism that should be used for creating new tokens via the add_token helper. The default type is SHA-1.

This value should be a hash of digest configuration. The one required field is type, and should be a type supported by the Digest module:

  • MD5 (part of core Perl)

  • SHA-1 (part of core Perl)

  • SHA-256 (part of core Perl)

  • SHA-512 (part of core Perl)

Additional fields are given as configuration to the Digest module. Not all Digest types require additional configuration.

username_field

The name of the field in the schema which is the user's identifier. This can be a user name, ID, or e-mail address, and is used to keep track of who owns the token.

This field is optional. If not specified, no user name will be stored.

HELPERS

This plugin has the following helpers.

yancy.auth.current_user

Get the current user from the session, if any. Returns undef if no user was found in the session.

my $user = $c->yancy->auth->current_user
    || return $c->render( status => 401, text => 'Unauthorized' );

yancy.auth.require_user

Validate there is a logged-in user and optionally that the user data has certain values. See "require_user" in Yancy::Plugin::Auth::Role::RequireUser.

# Display the user dashboard, but only to logged-in users
my $auth_route = $app->routes->under( '/user', $app->yancy->auth->require_user );
$auth_route->get( '' )->to( 'user#dashboard' );

yancy.auth.add_token

$ perl myapp.pl eval 'app->yancy->auth->add_token( "username" )'

Generate a new token and add it to the database. "username" is the username for the token. The token will be generated as a base-64 encoded hash of the following input:

  • The username

  • The site's secret

  • The current time

  • A random number
