Affected packages
• npm @dependencytrack/frontend: >= 4.12.0, < 4.13.6 → fixed in 4.13.6
Description
Description
Since version 4.12.0, Dependency-Track users with the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission can configure a "welcome message", which is HTML that is to be rendered on the login page for branding purposes.
When rendering the welcome message, Dependency-Track versions before 4.13.6 did not properly sanitize the HTML, allowing arbitrary JavaScript to be executed.
Impact
Users with the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission (i.e., administrators), can exploit this weakness to execute arbitrary JavaScript for users browsing to the login page.
Patches
The issue has been fixed in version 4.13.6.
