CVE reference: CVE-2016-5124
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Vulnerability Details:
Adding images from external sources to HTML editors by drag&drop can potentially lead to script code execution in the 
context of the active user. To exploit this, a user needs to be tricked to use a image from a specially crafted website 
and add it to HTML editor areas of OX App Suite, for example E-Mail Compose or OX Text. This specific attacks 
circumvents typical XSS filters and detection mechanisms since the code is not loaded from an external service but 
injected locally.

Risk:
Malicious script code can be executed within a users context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted 
actions via the web interface (sending mail, deleting data etc.). To exploit this vulnerability, a attacker needs to 
convince a user to follow specific steps (social-engineering).

Steps to reproduce:
Create a website that contains an image where the images <a> tag contains specific script code as "onload" or "onerror" 
parameters. Adding conditions to the code helps to avoid early discovery of the malicious code.

Solution:
Users should not include content from untrusted external sources. External content may be downloaded first and then 
added to avoid the attack vector. Switching to plain-text mode mitigates this attack for E-Mail. Operators should 
update to the latest Patch Release

CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Vulnerability Details:
Adobe Flash files can be used to transport javascript code. Those files were not detected nor sanitized and therfor 
presented to the user.

Risk:
Malicious script code can be executed within a users context. This can lead to session hijacking or triggering unwanted

Internal reference: 46025 (Bug ID)
Vulnerability type: Cross Site Scripting (CWE-80)
Vulnerable version: 7.8.1 and earlier
Vulnerable component: spreadsheet
Report confidence: Confirmed
Solution status: Fixed by Vendor
Fixed version: 7.6.2-rev15, 7.6.3-rev3, 7.8.0-rev9, 7.8.1-rev9

CVE reference: CVE-2016-5124
CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Vulnerability Details:
OX Documents Spreadsheet uses data from cells when annotating certain charts, such as bubble graphs. When adding 
javascript code to those cells, it gets executed when hovering charts and trigger those annotations.
