Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Stored cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11499)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when updating analysis details via a localhost web request, as demonstrated by mishandling of the tags and version fields in "helperFunctions/mongo_task_conversion.py". A remote attacker can permanently inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
