Summary
TS3 Manager is modern web interface for maintaining Teamspeak3 servers. Prior to 2.2.6, the /api/download handler in packages/server/routes/api.js passes the attacker-controlled port query parameter to socket.connect(port, host) and returns the resulting error.message through res.status(400).send(error.message) as text/html without a Content Security Policy. When a logged-in operator follows a crafted top-level link, the reflected value executes in the manager origin. The token cookie set in packages/ui/src/store/modules/query.js lacks HttpOnly, Secure, and an explicit SameSite attribute, allowing the script to read the token and call the autofillform event in packages/server/socket.js. autofillform returns the decoded JWT, including the cleartext ServerQuery password, enabling operator-session hijacking and control of the managed TeamSpeak server when the operator uses administrative ServerQuery credentials. A valid operator session and user interaction are required. This issue is fixed in 2.2.6.
