Affected versions can have malicious javascript code injected into the users browser by other authenticated users, as data fields retrieved from the database are not properly sanitized before displaying in various front-end views.
The problem here stems from multiple issues:
The attack vector here is limited, as only authenticated users are able to write data to the database, for it to be subsequently rendered on the front-end. However, it is a vulnerability that the InvenTree development team takes seriously.
The proposed patch for this vulnerability is prevents injection of un-escaped fields into front-end UI elements.
A future patch will also address sanitization of database fields on the "back end", however this will require a much larger effort to refactor multiple database tables.
0.8.0 release0.7.x branch, applied to the 0.7.2 releaseThere are no workarounds for this issue, users should upgrade to a patched version.
