Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-79

Untrusted input is placed into a web page without being neutralised, so an attacker's markup or script executes in another user's browser. That can hijack sessions, capture keystrokes, or silently perform actions as the victim. Fixing it properly means context-aware output encoding everywhere data meets HTML, backed by a content-security policy as a second line of defence.

Recommended fix High confidence

0.8.0

  1. 1. Backup your current api-umbrella-web 0.7.1 installation and any existing configuration data
  2. 2. Review the api-umbrella-web release notes for version 0.8.0 to understand any configuration or dependency changes
  3. 3. Stop the api-umbrella-web service
  4. 4. Upgrade the api-umbrella-web package or deployment to version 0.8.0
  5. 5. Review and update any configuration files if required by the 0.8.0 release
  6. 6. Start the api-umbrella-web service
  7. 7. Log in to the Admin interface and verify the Admin Data Table Handler functionality works correctly
  8. 8. Test that the XSS vulnerability in the Admin Data Table Handler is no longer present by attempting to inject benign script content in table parameters
Caveat Minor version upgrades may include API or configuration changes - review 0.8.0 release notes before upgrading
