Summary
Cross site scripting vulnerability with discussion titles
Details

Flarum's page title system allowed for page titles to be converted into HTML DOM nodes when pages were rendered. The change was made after v1.5 and was not noticed.

This allowed an attacker to inject malicious HTML markup using a discussion title input, either by creating a new discussion or renaming one. The XSS attack occurs after a visitor opens the relevant discussion page.

Impact

All communities running Flarum from v1.5.0 to v1.6.1 are impacted.

Patches

The vulnerability has been fixed and published as flarum/core v1.6.2. All communities running Flarum from v1.5.0 to v1.6.1 have to upgrade as soon as possible to v1.6.2 using:

composer update --prefer-dist --no-dev -a -W

You can then confirm you run the latest version using:

composer show flarum/core

Workarounds

None
