CVE-2021-41132: Openmicroscopy Omero-Figure

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

OMERO.web provides a web based client and plugin infrastructure. In versions prior to 5.11.0, a variety of templates do not perform proper sanitization through HTML escaping. Due to the lack of sanitization and use of ``jQuery.html()``, there are a whole host of cross-site scripting possibilities with specially crafted input to a variety of fields. This issue is patched in version 5.11.0. There are no known workarounds aside from upgrading.

Affected products

• Openmicroscopy Omero-Figure: before 4.4.1 (fixed in 4.4.1)
• Openmicroscopy Omero-Web: before 5.11.0 (fixed in 5.11.0)
