Summary

Pi-hole Admin Interface from 6.0 to before 6.5 places configuration values from the /api/config endpoint directly into HTML value="" attributes without escaping in settings-advanced.js, enabling HTML attribute injection. A double quote in any config value breaks out of the attribute context. JavaScript execution is blocked by the server's CSP (script-src 'self'), but injected attributes can alter element styling for UI redressing. The primary attack vector is importing a malicious teleporter backup, which bypasses per-field server-side validation.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can alter the UI appearance to trick an administrator into performing unintended actions (UI redressing), potentially leading to misconfiguration or other consequences.

Recommendation

Update Pi-hole Admin Interface to version 6.5. Avoid importing backups from untrusted sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

Pi-hole Admin Interface is a web interface for managing Pi-hole, a network-level ad and internet tracker blocking application. From 6.0 to before 6.5, configuration values from the /api/config endpoint are placed directly into HTML value="" attributes without escaping in settings-advanced.js, enabling HTML attribute injection. A double quote in any config value breaks out of the attribute context. JavaScript execution is blocked by the server's CSP (script-src 'self'), but injected attributes can alter element styling for UI redressing. The primary attack vector is importing a malicious teleporter backup, which bypasses per-field server-side validation. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.5.
