Description
@dependencytrack/frontend is a Single Page Application (SPA) used in Dependency-Track, an open source Component Analysis platform that allows organizations to identify and reduce risk in the software supply chain. 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. Users with the SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION permission (i.e., administrators), can exploit this weakness to execute arbitrary JavaScript for users browsing to the login page. The issue has been fixed in version 4.13.6.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Dependency-Track frontend application before version 4.13.6. It allows users with SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION permission (administrators) to configure a welcome message on the login page that includes HTML. The application did not properly sanitize this HTML, which means arbitrary JavaScript code could be injected and executed when users visit the login page. This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with administrator-level permissions to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the login page for users. This could lead to unauthorized actions, theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious activities affecting users who visit the login page.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Dependency-Track to version 4.13.6 or later, as this version includes the fix for the improper HTML sanitization vulnerability. Additionally, restrict SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION permissions to trusted administrators only to reduce the risk of exploitation.
