Description
Summary
The `/debug/querylogz` and `/debug/env` pages for `vtgate` and `vttablet` do not properly escape user input. The result is that queries executed by Vitess can write HTML into the monitoring page at will.
Details
These pages are rendered using `text/template` instead of rendering with a proper HTML templating engine.
PoC
Execute any query where part of it is HTML markup, for example as part of a string. To make it easier to observe you might want to make sure the query takes a few seconds to complete, giving you time to refresh the status page.
Example query that can trigger the issue:
```sql
UPDATE users
SET
email = CONCAT("", users.idUser, "@xxx")
WHERE
email NOT LIKE '%xxx%' AND email != "[email protected]"
```
Result:
Impact
Anyone looking at the Vitess status page is affected. This would normally be owners / administrators of the Vitess cluster.
Anyone that can influence what text show up in queries can trigger it. This would normally be pretty much everybody interacting with a system that uses Vitess as a backend.
