Technical details

The vulnerability is a DOM-based or stored XSS flaw (CWE-79) in ydata-profiling versions 3.7.0 through 4.8.3 that fails to properly sanitize user-controlled or malicious input when generating HTML reports. An attacker can craft a malicious report file that, when viewed in a browser, executes arbitrary JavaScript code with the privileges of the user viewing the report. The attack requires user interaction (opening the report) and local or adjacent network access to deliver the malicious file. The impact includes confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. A patch is expected in versions after 4.8.3.
