Home assistant is an open source home automation. The Home Assistant login page allows users to use their local Home Assistant credentials and log in to another website that specifies the redirect_uri
and client_id
parameters. Although the redirect_uri
validation typically ensures that it matches the client_id
and the scheme represents either http
or https
, Home Assistant will fetch the client_id
and check for <link rel="redirect_uri" href="...">
HTML tags on the page. These URLs are not subjected to the same scheme validation and thus allow for arbitrary JavaScript execution on the Home Assistant administration page via usage of javascript:
scheme URIs. This Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability can be executed on the Home Assistant frontend domain, which may be used for a full takeover of the Home Assistant account and installation. This issue has been addressed in version 2023.9.0 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
