@dependencytrack/frontend vulnerable to Persistent Cross-Site-Scripting via welcome message

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Nov 17, 2025 in DependencyTrack/frontend • Updated Nov 17, 2025

Package

npm @dependencytrack/frontend (npm)

Affected versions

>= 4.12.0, < 4.13.6

Patched versions

4.13.6

Description

Description

Since version 4.12.0, Dependency-Track users with the SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION permission can configure a "welcome message", which is HTML that is to be rendered on the login page for branding purposes.

When rendering the welcome message, Dependency-Track versions before 4.13.6 did not properly sanitize the HTML, allowing arbitrary JavaScript to be executed.

Impact

Users with the SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION permission (i.e., administrators), can exploit this weakness to execute arbitrary JavaScript for users browsing to the login page.

Patches

The issue has been fixed in version 4.13.6.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
