CVE-2022-29182Network attack vector

Session-context script execution via unchecked cross-window messages

Published May 20, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

DOM-based XSS in Thoughtworks GoCD 19.11.0 through 21.4.0 allows remote attackers to execute script in a user's GoCD session. The Stage Details graph page's message handler parsed data from any window and assigned its openLink value to window.location.href without verifying the sender. A user with an active GoCD session must visit attacker-controlled content; successful exploitation can steal session cookies or perform actions in that user's browser context.
