Summary
Summary A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in the AI Playground's OAuth callback handler. The `error_description` query parameter was directly interpolated into an HTML script tag without proper escaping, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's session. Root cause The OAuth callback handler in `site/ai-playground/src/server.ts` directly interpolated the `authError` value, sourced from the `error_description` query parameter, into an inline `<script>` tag. Impact An attacker could craft a malicious link that, when clicked by a victim, would: * Steal user chat message history - Access all LLM interactions stored in the user's session. * Access connected MCP Servers - Interact with any MCP servers connected to the victim's session (public or authenticated/private), potentially allowing the attacker to perform actions on the victim's behalf Mitigation: * PR: https://github.com/cloudflare/agents/pull/841 https://github.com/cloudflare/agents/pull/841 * Agents-sdk users should upgrade to [email protected] * Developers using configureOAuthCallback with custom error handling in their own applications should ensure all user-controlled input is escaped before interpolation.
