Technical details

The vulnerability is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the chip template rendering of PivotGrid and PivotConfigurator components. Axis field names are passed to the template without HTML encoding, allowing both attribute and element injection. Exploitation requires an attacker to control the axis field name, such as through a crafted configuration, and for a user to view the rendered chip. The vulnerability affects versions 2026.3.1015 up to but not including 2026.4.1110.
