Subject: [FD] [CVE-2018-1000088] Stored XSS vulnerability in Doorkeeper gem
 v2.1.0 - v4.2.5

Hey everyone,

A security bulletin for you.

Software:
---------
Doorkeeper (https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper)

Description:
------------
Doorkeeper is an OAuth 2 provider for Rails written in Ruby.

Affected Versions:
------------------
2.1.0 - 4.2.5

Fixed Versions:
---------------
4.2.6 or later

Problem:
--------
Stored XSS on the OAuth Client's name will cause users being prompted
for consent via the "implicit" grant type to execute the XSS payload.

The XSS attack could gain access to the user's active session,
resulting in account compromise.

Any user is susceptible if they click the authorization link for the
malicious OAuth client. Because of how the links work, a user cannot
tell if a link is malicious or not without first visiting the page
with the XSS payload.

The requirement for this attack to be dangerous in the wild is the
software using Doorkeeper must allow regular users to create or edit
OAuth client applications.

If 3rd parties are allowed to create OAuth clients in the app using
Doorkeeper, upgrade to the patched versions immediately.

Additionally there is stored XSS in the native_redirect_uri form element.

DWF has assigned CVE-2018-1000088.

Solution:
---------
Upgrade to Doorkeeper v4.2.6 or later
