Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-79.
Summary
The Agent Zero Web UI before 1.15 does not correctly sanitize user-provided input in chat messages or file uploads, which is an improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). An unauthenticated remote attacker can get a victim to view crafted content, and when Agent Zero reproduces that content in the chat interface, injected JavaScript runs in the victim's authenticated Web UI session. User interaction is required.
