Summary
A flaw was found in the Pen Drive report generator. Cluster-sourced data is rendered into HTML reports without proper escaping or sanitization.
An attacker with cluster administrator privileges can inject a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) payload into cluster objects (such as ClusterVersion spec.channel) that executes in the browser of any user who opens the generated HTML report. This flaw affects Pen Drive versions prior to 1.0.0-2.
The vulnerability requires cluster administrator privileges to inject the XSS payload and user interaction (opening the report) for exploitation, limiting the attack surface. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).
Weakness: CWE-79. Affected Red Hat products: Pen Drive Powered by Red Hat Lightspeed.

Mitigation checklist
- The following practices would help for avoiding exposure and mitigate this flaw: - Upgrade Pen Drive to version 1.0.0-2 or later, which reportedly contains the fix. - Until upgraded, review HTML reports generated by Pen Drive before opening them in a browser, or open them in a sandboxed browser environment. - If using must-gather archives from untrusted sources, validate the archive content before feeding it to Pen Drive. - Consider opening Pen Drive reports with JavaScript disabled in the browser.
