🚨 Severity

HIGH

💡 Vulnerability

DOM XSS vulnerability in scanner/dashboard/console.html.
The dashboard dynamically rendered values retrieved from the backend API directly into innerHTML properties using string interpolation without type coercion.
Although attributes like deploy_blocking, new_blocking, and total are semantically numerical, an attacker controlling the API output (via malicious JSON payloads or man-in-the-middle) could inject string-based XSS payloads. Because numeric interpolation lacked esc() sanitization or explicit coercion, it allowed arbitrary script execution within the dashboard.

🎯 Impact

An attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of a user's browser viewing the dashboard. This leads to complete compromise of the session, enabling the theft of ag_key (API keys stored in sessionStorage), which grants full access to the control plane and organizational secrets.

🔧 Fix

  • Implemented strict type coercion using Number() for all interpolated properties expected to be numeric (e.g., Number(s.total)||0, Number(s.deploy_blocking)). This neutralizes any string payload by converting it to NaN without breaking numeric rendering.
  • Added esc() HTML escaping to string properties like s.id that were previously unescaped.
  • Safely normalized object key lookups (SEV[String(f.severity).toUpperCase()]) to prevent prototype pollution or undefined evaluation issues.

✅ Verification

  1. Locally ran pytest tests/test_console_dashboard_security.py which passes all assertions related to strict string formatting and DOM interpolation.
  2. The entire test suite ran successfully (pnpm test and pytest). Code coverage remains at 96% and 1381 tests pass.

* Enforce `Number()` coercion for numerical values (`total`, `deploy_blocking`, `new_blocking`, `CRITICAL` count) injected into `innerHTML`.
* Add `esc()` escaping for string values like `s.id`.
* Safe-case untrusted `severity` strings before map lookup: `String(f.severity).toUpperCase()`.
