CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedGoCD versions 13.3.0 to 26.0.0 are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to improper encoding of malicious modification comments, allowing users with write access to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript. This vulnerability can lead to the exposure of privileged user sessions or unauthorized actions using the victim's credentials when they view affected pages. Organizations using GoCD should prioritize upgrading to version 26.1.0 to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
GoCD is a continuous deliver server. From 13.3.0 until 26.1.0, GoCD does not correctly encode and escape malicious material modification comments that mimic the special trackback format used by package materials when rendering the Stage Detail, Job/Build Detail, Value Stream Map, and Pipeline History views. A user with write access to a material tracked by GoCD can store arbitrary HTML or JavaScript in a forged package material comment, which executes in the browser session of a user who later views an affected page. Exploitation requires a victim to view a page that renders the malicious modification, and GoCD does not render every material comment in every view. Successful exploitation can expose a privileged user session or allow changes using the victim's credentials and privileges. This issue is fixed in version 26.1.0.
