Summary

Highcharts JS from 10.0.0 until 11.4.9, 12.6.1, and 13.1.0 applies breadcrumbs.style as SVG attributes rather than CSS and does not filter attribute names. An attacker who controls chart configuration can provide event-handler keys through breadcrumb options, which become active handlers on the breadcrumb button and execute in the hosting page origin after the user navigates and hovers over or activates the button.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to execution of malicious JavaScript in the user's page context, such as session data theft or performing actions on behalf of the user.

Recommendation

Update Highcharts to version 11.4.9, 12.6.1, or 13.1.0, which fix the vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

Highcharts JS is a JavaScript charting library based on SVG. From 10.0.0 until 11.4.9, 12.6.1, and 13.1.0, Highcharts applies breadcrumbs.style as SVG attributes rather than CSS and does not filter the attribute names. An attacker who controls chart configuration can provide event-handler keys through drilldown.breadcrumbs, navigation.breadcrumbs, or hierarchical series breadcrumb options. The keys become active handlers on the breadcrumb button and execute in the hosting page origin after the user navigates to a level and hovers over or activates the button. Styled-mode charts do not apply this option and are not affected. This issue is fixed in 11.4.9, 12.6.1 and 13.1.0.
