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

Yote::AppRoot - Application Server Base Objects

DESCRIPTION

This is the root class for all Yote Apps. Extend it to create an App Object.

Each Web Application has a single container object as the entry point to that object which is an instance of the Yote::AppRoot class. A Yote::AppRoot extends Yote::Obj and provides some class methods and the following stub methods.

PUBLIC API METHODS

account

Return the account that the user has with this app.

do_404
check_guest_token
create_login( args )

Create a login with the given client supplied args : h => handle, e => email, p => password. This checks to make sure handle and email address are not already taken. This is invoked by the javascript call $.yote.create_login( handle, password, email )

fetch
fetch_page
make_root
new_obj
new_root_obj
new_template
new_user_obj
precache

Meant to be overridden. Returns all data to the client or html page that the app in order to not need lazy loading.

recover_password( { e : email, u : a_url_the_person_requested_recovery, t : reset_url_for_system } )

Causes an email with a recovery link sent to the email in question, if it is associated with an account.

Returns the currently logged in account using this app.

recovery_reset_password( { p : newpassword, p2 : newpasswordverify, t : recovery_token } )

Resets the password ( kepts hashed in the database ) for the account that the recovery token belongs to. Returns the url_the_person_requested_recovery that was given in the recover_password call.

remove_account( { h : handle, e : email, p : password } )
remove_login( { h : handle, e : email, p : password } )

Purges the login account from the system if its credentials are verified. It moves the account to a special removed logins hidden field under the yote root.

token_login()

Returns a token that is used by the client and server to sync up data for the case of a user not being logged in.

validate( rand_token )

Validates and returns the login specified by the random token.

OVERRIDABLE METHODS

_init_account( $acct )

This is called whenever a new account is created for this app. This can be overridden to perform any initialzation on the account.

_new_account()

This returns a new Yote::Account object to be used with this app. May be overridden to return a subclass of Yote::Account.

PUBLIC DATA FIELDS

requires_validation

When true, an account will not work until validation of the login is achieved, through email or other means.

PRIVATE DATA FIELDS

_account_roots

This is a hash of login ID to account.
