- Unpinned Remote JavaScript SDK Executes Mutable Third-Party Code## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md`, line 12 **Vulnerability Type**: Remote, unpinned executable dependency **Risk Level**: High ```html <script src="https://xumm.app/assets/cdn/xumm-oauth2-pkce.min.js"></script> ``` ### Technical Analysis The documented integration loads an unversioned JavaScript file directly from an external CDN. No immutable version, Subresource Integrity hash, or equivalent content verification is specified. The downloaded script executes in the application's origin with the same browser privileges as first-party application code. Because the effective code can change after the Skill has been reviewed, compromise of the CDN, upstream deployment process, DNS path, or provider account could result in arbitrary JavaScript being delivered to application users. This behavior most closely matches remote payload retrieval and execution. ### Attack Path 1. An attacker compromises the CDN asset, its publishing account, or another component capable of changing the remote response. 2. The attacker replaces the SDK response with modified JavaScript. 3. A user visits an application that implemented the documented script tag. 4. The browser retrieves and executes the modified script under the application's origin. 5. The malicious script accesses browser-visible application data, wallet session state, or transaction workflows and transmits or alters that information. ### Impact Assessment Successful exploitation provides arbitrary JavaScript execution in the context of every application page that loads the SDK. The resulting scope can include access to JavaScript-readable wallet session material, application data, DOM content, and authenticated API operations available to the user. In a wallet application, malicious code could also manipulate displayed destinations or transaction-signing requests. The exact privileges remain limited by browser isolation, application permissions, and ...[truncated 44 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions - Prefer an audited, explicitly versioned SDK installed through a package manager and committed lockfile. - Pin the dependency to an exact version rather than a floating or unversioned release. - If CDN delivery is unavoidable, use a versioned, immutable URL and a verified Subresource Integrity hash with an appropriate `crossorigin` setting. - Deploy a restrictive Content Security Policy that permits scripts only from explicitly trusted sources and disallows unsafe inline execution. - Monitor upstream releases and CDN integrity, and establish a controlled process for reviewing and updating the SDK. - Isolate wallet integration from unrelated application data where feasible and require users to verify all transaction details in the trusted wallet interface.
