Session hijacking via unsanitized stored dashboard HTML
Published Aug 30, 2024 · Updated Sep 3, 2024
Stored XSS in Lightdash 0.1024.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser through a dashboard. The dashboard markdown content and comment textHtml handlers store attacker-controlled HTML and render it without sanitizing script-capable elements. Administrator or Editor permissions are required to create the content, and a victim must view the dashboard or comments; execution can expose session data and act with the victim's access.
