Vulnerability in rucio-webui (CVE-2026-25734)
Summary
Vulnerability in rucio-webui (CVE-2026-25734). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /proxy/rses/XSSTEST. Mitigation: upgrade to 39.3.1 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
A stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the RSE metadata of the WebUI where attacker-controlled input is persisted by the backend and later rendered in the WebUI without proper output encoding. This allows arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of the WebUI for users who view affected pages, potentially enabling session token theft or unauthorized actions.
Details
Several metadata fields accept arbitrary input which is stored and later rendered unsafely in the WebUI when the RSEs are listed in the RSE Management dashboard.

Vulnerable Attributes:
City, Country_Name, ISP
Request
POST /proxy/rses/XSSTEST HTTP/1.1

Response
HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED

Created
Stored XSS payload triggering in RSE listing after adding XSS payload in metadata
Impact
Any authenticated user who views affected resources may execute attacker-controlled JavaScript in the WebUI origin. Depending on the affected feature, this may impact all users or administrative users only.
The impact is amplified by:
- Session cookies that are accessible to JavaScript (missing HttpOnly flag).
- API tokens exposed to the WebUI via JavaScr…

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'rucio-webui' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
rucio-webuiを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'POST /proxy/rses/XSSTEST' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
POST /proxy/rses/XSSTESTへの異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade rucio-webui to 39.3.1ステージング環境で 39.3.1 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against POST /proxy/rses/XSSTEST on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
