Pulpcore: python-pulpcore: stored cross-site scripting via inline rendering of uploaded html/svg content

publishedCWE-79

A flaw was found in pulpcore's content serving application. Files uploaded to Pulp file-type repositories are served with their original content type (e.g., text/html for .html files, image/svg+xml for .svg files) and without a Content-Disposition: attachment header when using local filesystem storage. An authenticated user or attacker with content upload permissions can upload a specially crafted HTML or SVG file containing JavaScript, which executes in the browser of any user who visits the file URL, resulting in stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in the context of the host application.

Fixes and workarounds

Workaround

If immediate update is not possible, administrators can add security headers to the Apache reverse proxy configuration for the /pulp/content/ path. On Satellite, add the following to the Apache configuration (e.g., via a custom .conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ or via a Puppet override): ``` <Location /pulp/content> Header set Content-Disposition "attachment" Header set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'none'; sandbox" </Location> ``` This forces all content downloads rather than inline rendering, and blocks script execution even if Content-Disposition is somehow bypassed. After applying, restart Apache: ```systemctl restart httpd``` Alternatively, restrict file upload permissions in Satellite to only trusted users who require content management capabilities.
