Vulnerability Description
Collabora Online is a collaborative online office suite based on LibreOffice technology. Prior to 24.04.18 and 25.04.11, the `host_session_id` query/form parameter is substituted into the `cool.html` editor page without HTML encoding, unlike parameters passed through the existing variable-encoding mechanism. An attacker who induces a victim to load a crafted URL can inject HTML and, in the absence of an effective `Content Security Policy`, execute scripts in the Collabora Online iframe's origin, exposing the session authentication token and page contents. A reverse proxy that preserves the `Content Security Policy` header sent by `coolwsd` mitigates the script-execution scenario. This issue is fixed in versions 24.04.18 and 25.04.11.
