CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe lakeFS Web UI is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) due to improper sanitization of markdown files, allowing users with write access to inject malicious HTML/JavaScript into repository objects. This can lead to the execution of attacker-supplied scripts in the authenticated sessions of other users who access these objects. Organizations using lakeFS, particularly those on versions prior to 1.81.1 for the open-source edition and 1.84.0 for the enterprise edition, should prioritize upgrading to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
lakeFS is an open-source tool that transforms object storage into a Git-like repositories. Prior to version 1.81.1 of the open source edition and 1.84.0 of the enterprise edition, lakeFS Web UI renders markdown files from repository objects without sanitizing the resulting HTML. A user with write access to any repository branch can commit a `.md` object containing arbitrary HTML/JavaScript. Any other user who opens that object, or who navigates to a repository or directory containing a malicious `README.md`, executes the attacker-supplied script in their own authenticated session. lakeFS fixes the issue in v1.81.1 and lakeFS Enterprise fixes the issue in in v1.84.0. Enterprise customers using older versions can temporarily disable Markdown rendering by adding YAML to their config. No workaround exists for OSS release. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version for both lakeFS and lakeFS-Enterprise.
