NanoHTTPD Cross-site Scripting vulnerability

Published Feb 23, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024 · Assigned by mitre

Description

An issue was discovered in RouterNanoHTTPD.java in NanoHTTPD through 2.3.1. The GeneralHandler class implements a basic GET handler that prints debug information as an HTML page. Any web server that extends this class without implementing its own GET handler is vulnerable to reflected XSS, because the GeneralHandler GET handler prints user input passed through the query string without any sanitization.
