CVE-2022-41947: DHIS2 Dhis 2

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

DHIS 2 is an open source information system for data capture, management, validation, analytics and visualization. Through various features of DHIS2, an authenticated user may be able to upload a file which includes embedded javascript. The user could then potentially trick another authenticated user to open the malicious file in a browser which would trigger the javascript code, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. DHIS2 administrators should upgrade to the following hotfix releases: 2.36.12.1, 2.37.8.1, 2.38.2.1, 2.39.0.1. Users unable to upgrade may add the following simple CSP rule in your web proxy to the vulnerable endpoints: `script-src 'none'`. This workaround will prevent all javascript from running on those endpoints.

Affected products

• DHIS2 Dhis 2: from 2.35.0, before 2.36.12.1 (fixed in 2.36.12.1); from 2.37.0, before 2.37.8.1 (fixed in 2.37.8.1); from 2.38.0, before 2.38.2.1 (fixed in 2.38.2.1); version 2.39.0 only
