CVE-2024-45031: Apache Syncope: Stored XSS in Console and Enduser

[Francesco Chicchiriccò <ilgrosso () apache org>]

Severity: moderate

Affected versions:

- Apache Syncope 2.1 through 2.1.14
- Apache Syncope 3.0 through 3.0.8

Description:

When editing objects in the Syncope Console, incomplete HTML tags could be used to bypass HTML sanitization. This made 
it possible to inject stored XSS payloads which would trigger for other users during ordinary usage of the application.
XSS payloads could also be injected in Syncope Enduser when editing “Personal Information” or “User Requests”: such 
payloads would trigger for administrators in Syncope Console, thus enabling session hijacking.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.9, which fixes this issue.
