Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. The `twisted.web.util.redirectTo` function contains an HTML injection vulnerability. If application code allows an attacker to control the redirect URL this vulnerability may result in Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the redirect response HTML body. This vulnerability is fixed in 24.7.0rc1.
A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Python-Twisted in the twisted.web.util.redirectTo function. This flaw allows an attacker to control the redirect URL, leading to reflected XSS in the HTML body of the redirect response. If exploited, a remote attacker could inject malicious HTML, causing unauthorized JavaScript execution within the victim's browser session. This issue can result in unauthorized access to the victim’s account and data or allow the attacker to perform operations on behalf of the victim.
It was discovered that Twisted incorrectly handled response order when processing multiple HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to delay and manipulate responses. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. It was discovered that Twisted did not properly sanitize certain input. An attacker could use this vulnerability to possibly execute an HTML injection leading to a cross-site scripting attack.
