Technical details

Multiple web UI pages in OpenNMS Meridian and Horizon copy request parameter values into HTML responses without proper contextual output encoding. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can craft a link containing JavaScript payload that executes when an authenticated user visits it; the script runs in the victim's browser with their session privileges, allowing data exfiltration and same-origin requests. The fix applies context-specific HTML and JavaScript escaping across affected pages and disables client-side template evaluation for reflected values in AngularJS components.
