CVE-2020-27958Network attack vector

Authenticated job-template modification via unescaped user input

Published Feb 26, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Improper escaping in Open OnDemand Job Composer before 1.7.19 and 1.8.0 through 1.8.17 allows remote authenticated users to alter job templates. The template-creation path incorporates crafted user input without the escaping needed to preserve the generated template structure. Access to the authenticated Job Composer interface is required, and the documented consequence is limited to modifying generated job-template content.
