Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions 3.7.0 or newer of Ydata's ydata-profiling open-source library. The vulnerability allows payloads to be run when a maliciously crafted report is viewed in the browser (NVD, HiddenLayer).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from the Jinja2 template initialization in src/ydata_profiling/report/presentation/flavours/html/templates.py where autoescape is not set to true. This configuration allows for maliciously crafted datasets to perform XSS attacks when an HTML report is generated. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (HiddenLayer).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code when a maliciously crafted report is viewed in the browser. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or execution of malicious code in the context of the user's browser (HiddenLayer).
