Background
The damienharper/auditor-bundle is a Packagist package that provides auditing capabilities for Symfony applications. It allows developers to track changes made to entities and generate audit logs. The vulnerability in this package allows for Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to the lack of escaping the name of an entity.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability arises from the unescaped entity property, which enables JavaScript injection. The issue lies in the %source_label% in the Twig macro, which is not properly escaped. This allows for the insertion and execution of script tags. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by creating an author with a full name containing malicious JavaScript code. When the author is deleted and the audit of authors is viewed, the injected script will be executed. This results in persistent XSS, where JavaScript can be injected and executed.
