Summary

Progress Software KendoReact (@progress/kendo-react-charts) from 1.1.0 before 16.2.0 is affected. The default Chart tooltip renders the formatted point value as raw HTML without encoding, in both the single-point and the shared tooltip. This is CWE-80, improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags. An attacker with low privileges who can influence a string value bound to the chart can supply HTML with event handlers that run JavaScript in a user's browser when the user hovers over the affected data point.

Description from the CNA

In Progress® KendoReact (@progress/kendo-react-charts) starting with version 1.1.0 and prior to 16.2.0, the default Chart tooltip renders the formatted point value as raw HTML without encoding, in both the single-point and the shared tooltip. An attacker with low privileges who can influence a string value bound to the chart can supply HTML containing event handlers that execute JavaScript in a user's browser when the user hovers over the affected data point. Successful exploitation can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of data accessible to the affected application.
