Pivotick

Pivotick contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the inspect and edit node modals. Node labels and descriptions originating from graph data were interpolated directly into HTML used to construct the modal headers. An attacker able to supply or modify graph data could insert a malicious HTML or JavaScript payload into a node’s label or description. The payload would be parsed and executed in the application’s origin when a user opened the affected node’s inspect or edit modal. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to access information available to the victim, modify application data, or perform actions using the victim’s active session. The vulnerability has been addressed by creating the modal elements without embedding graph data in HTML and assigning node labels and descriptions through textContent.

Pivotick contains an uncontrolled-recursion vulnerability when processing caller-supplied graph and node data. The affected graph algorithms recursively traversed graph edges, while the JSON viewer recursively processed each level of a node’s data structure. A specially crafted graph containing an excessively long path, deeply nested properties, or circular object references could therefore exhaust the JavaScript call stack when Pivotick calculates a layout or displays a node in the inspection modal. Successful exploitation may cause an uncaught exception, freeze the affected page, or crash the browser tab, resulting in a client-side denial of service. No confidentiality or integrity impact has been identified. The patch replaces the recursive graph traversals with iterative stack-based implementations and limits the reachability calculation to 1,000,000 edge traversals. It also limits JSON rendering to 64 levels and detects circular references before descending further into an object.

Pivotick fails to sanitize attacker-controlled SVG markup supplied through the per-node style.svgIcon property before inserting it into the document. When rendering a graph node, the vulnerable code assigns the SVG icon markup directly to the innerHTML property of a live SVG element. An attacker able to influence graph data can provide crafted markup containing executable event handlers, such as an <image> element with an onerror attribute. When a victim loads or renders the malicious graph, the payload may execute arbitrary JavaScript in the security context of the application embedding Pivotick. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to access application data available to the victim, modify displayed content, or perform actions using the victim’s authenticated session. Exploitation requires an application using Pivotick to render graph data that is controlled or modified by an attacker.

Pivotick contains a DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability in its generic UI element resolution and icon-rendering utilities. The tryResolveHTMLElement function treated any resolved string as HTML markup by assigning it to a <template> element through innerHTML. Strings derived from untrusted graph properties or custom rendering callbacks could therefore introduce arbitrary HTML or SVG elements into the live document. The vulnerable function was used by multiple UI components, including headers, property panels, extra panels, and tooltips. Additionally, createIcon inserted caller-supplied svgIcon markup into a template without sanitization. An application integrating Pivotick and deriving icon markup from untrusted data could therefore expose a second script-execution path. An unauthenticated attacker able to provide a crafted graph, property value, rendering result, or SVG icon could execute JavaScript in another user's browser when the affected content is displayed or interacted with. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to access information available to the victim, manipulate graph data or application state, and perform actions with the victim's privileges. The patch changes string rendering to use textContent, requiring callers to explicitly return an Element when HTML rendering is intended. It also sanitizes SVG icon markup before inserting it into the DOM.

Pivotick did not validate the URL scheme of node imagePath values derived from graph data before assigning them to SVG image resources. An attacker able to supply crafted graph data could set an image path to a malicious URI. When a victim rendered the affected graph, the browser could resolve the attacker-controlled URI and initiate an unintended request or invoke scheme-specific handling in the victim’s context. Depending on the URI, browser behaviour, and installed protocol handlers, exploitation could disclose limited client or network metadata, facilitate rendering-based tracking, or attempt to access local or internal resources. Exploitation requires a victim to load or render graph data containing the malicious imagePath. The patch normalizes ASCII whitespace and control characters in URI schemes and restricts image paths to relative URLs or the http, https, data, and blob schemes.
