Routine

LOW 3.5UPGRADE

CVE-2022-23072 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.5) affecting recipes. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

In Recipes, versions 1.0.5 through 1.2.5 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), in “Add to Cart” functionality. When a victim accesses the food list page, then adds a new Food with a malicious javascript payload in the ‘Name’ parameter and clicks on the Add to Shopping Cart icon, an XSS payload will trigger. A low privileged attacker will have the victim's API key and can lead to admin's account takeover.

tandoor recipes UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.0.5 and <= 1.2.5

Fixed in: newer than 1.2.5

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.0.5

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy recipes || rpm -q recipes || recipes --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 1.2.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade recipes

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade recipes

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0.5 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison recipes sudo apt install recipes=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.5> sudo apt-mark hold recipes

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list recipes sudo dnf downgrade recipes-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.5> sudo dnf versionlock add recipes

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
