Official Description
In "Gin-Vue-Admin", versions v2.5.1 through v2.5.3beta are vulnerable to Unrestricted File Upload that leads to execution of javascript code, through the 'Normal Upload' functionality to the Media Library. When an admin user views the uploaded file, a low privilege attacker will get access to the admin’s cookie leading to account takeover.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-32177 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.0.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
