Coturn: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in web-admin interface via TURN username
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: coturn coturn 4.11.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to coturn coturn 4.11.0 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Versions prior to 4.11.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web-admin HTTPS interface. An attacker who can create a TURN allocation with a crafted USERNAME value can inject HTML/JavaScript that executes when an authenticated web-admin user views the TURN session list. In configurations using anonymous TURN access (--no-auth), this may be exploitable without TURN credentials. In authenticated deployments, exploitation requires valid TURN credentials or control over a provisioned username. This issue has been fixed in version 4.11.0.
