Technical details
The Chart shared-tooltip feature fails to sanitize category and series-name values, rendering them as raw HTML instead of escaped text. This CWE-79 cross-site scripting vulnerability allows an attacker to inject JavaScript that executes in the user's browser context when the tooltip is displayed. No authentication is required; the attack requires user interaction (tooltip display) and the ability to influence chart data values.
