CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe DHIS2 OpenAPI HTML endpoint is vulnerable due to insufficient sanitization of the `scope` query parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript into the documentation page. This could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks if a user opens a crafted URL, potentially compromising their session or data. Organizations using DHIS2 versions 2.42 and 2.43 prior to the specified security patches should prioritize this vulnerability to protect their users from exploitation.

Original NVD Description
DHIS2 is a flexible information system for data capture, management, validation, analytics and visualization. The DHIS2 OpenAPI HTML endpoint reflected values from the `scope` query parameter into the generated HTML document without sufficient sanitization. A crafted `scope` value could be rendered as active HTML or JavaScript in the OpenAPI documentation page. An attacker able to get a user to open a crafted OpenAPI HTML URL could execute JavaScript in that user's browser in the DHIS2 origin. Affected versions: DHIS2 2.42 and 2.43 before the 2026-06-09 security patch releases, and the development branch for DHIS2 2.44 before the fix was merged. Patched in 2.42.5.1, 2.43.0.1, the 2.42 and 2.43 line branches, and the 2.44 development branch.
