Description
Summary
The `ApplicationName` and `LogoURL` appearance settings were rendered into HTML output without sufficient escaping which let a highly privileged Owner-role user inject HTML into the Coder dashboard and SMTP notification emails.
> Note: Exploitation requires the `Owner` role which already holds full administrative control of the deployment so practical impact is limited.
Impact
An Owner-role user could store HTML markup in the `ApplicationName` or `LogoURL` appearance settings that later rendered in the dashboard and in SMTP notification emails which results in stored HTML injection against other users of the deployment. Exploitation requires the highly privileged `Owner` role.
Patches
The fix escapes the `ApplicationName` and `LogoURL` appearance values in HTML output before rendering.
The fix was backported to all supported release lines:
| Release line | Patched version |
|---|---|
| 2.34 | v2.34.2 |
| 2.33 | v2.33.8 |
| 2.32 | v2.32.7 |
| 2.29 (ESR) | v2.29.17 |
Workarounds
Restrict the `Owner` role to trusted administrators.
