Pimcore 1.1.2 admin-ui-classic-bundle sprintf parsing in translation '%s'
CVE-2023-42817 Published on September 25, 2023

Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in pimcore admin-ui-classic-bundle translations
Pimcore admin-ui-classic-bundle provides a Backend UI for Pimcore. The translation value with text including %s (from %suggest%) is parsed by sprintf() even though its supposed to be output literally to the user. The translations may be accessible by a user with comparatively lower overall access (as the translation permission cannot be scoped to certain modules) and a skilled attacker might be able to exploit the parsing of the translation string in the dialog box. This issue has been patched in commit `abd77392` which is included in release 1.1.2. Users are advised to update to version 1.1.2 or apply the patch manually.
