Technical details

The root cause is insufficient input sanitization on the title attribute, which allows attackers to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript that will execute in the victim's browser context. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 4.18.2. Exploitation requires either injecting a malicious link or crafting a request that causes the vulnerable component to render unsanitized attacker-controlled data in the modal title. The fix is available in version 4.18.2 and later.
