Advisory details

Summary

The AgentLogLine dashboard component instantiated ansi-to-html without escapeXML: true and inserted the result via dangerouslySetInnerHTML so HTML embedded in workspace agent log lines was rendered as live markup. Server-side sanitization did not neutralize HTML metacharacters.

Note: Exploitation requires a victim to view attacker-controlled agent logs in the dashboard.

Impact

A user who could run a workspace could emit arbitrary HTML into agent logs; when another user, including an administrator, viewed the workspace page, it rendered in their session. Content Security Policy blocked inline scripts but an attacker could still inject a meta refresh redirect, style rules for UI redressing or CSS-based exfiltration or external img beacons. This required workspace-owner access and a victim viewing the page.

Patches

The fix enables escapeXML: true so HTML metacharacters are escaped before DOM insertion.

The fix was backported to all supported release lines:

Release line Patched version
2.34 v2.34.2
2.33 v2.33.8
2.32 v2.32.7
2.29 (ESR) v2.29.17

Workarounds

None.
