Technical details

This is a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the welcome message rendering functionality, introduced in version 4.12.0. The vulnerability exists because HTML content configured by users with SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION privilege (administrators) is not properly sanitized before being rendered on the login page. An authenticated administrator can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of unauthenticated users visiting the login page. The attack requires administrator privileges and user interaction (visiting the login page), but has changed scope (affects resources beyond the vulnerable component). The issue was fixed in version 4.13.6 by properly sanitizing HTML input.
