Description

Unblu Spark contains an open redirect vulnerability that can be escalated to a DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. When Unblu Spark is deployed with com.unblu.identifier.siteEmbeddedSetup=true, it runs in the same origin as the host application. Any JavaScript injected through this vulnerability therefore executes with full access to the host application's cookies, DOM, and same-origin APIs β€” an attacker can reach all resources of the host application, not just Unblu's. This expanded blast radius is the reason on-premises deployments using this configuration are rated CRITICAL.

Executive Summary

Unblu Spark has an open redirect flaw that can be turned into a DOM-based XSS attack. When deployed with siteEmbeddedSetup=true, it shares the same origin as the host app. Injected JavaScript gains full access to the host app's cookies, DOM, and APIs, allowing attackers to control all host resources.

Impact Analysis

Attackers could steal sensitive data via cookies or session tokens, manipulate the host app's UI, or perform actions on behalf of users. For on-premises deployments with the vulnerable config, the impact is critical due to full system access.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or modification, violating GDPR's integrity/confidentiality principles and HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Compliance risks include data breaches and failure to maintain adequate security controls.

Mitigation Strategies

Disable the configuration setting com.unblu.identifier.siteEmbeddedSetup=true to prevent the same-origin execution context. Review and restrict access to Unblu Spark endpoints to trusted sources only.
