NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nagvis package and not the nagvis package as distributed by Ubuntu.

An issue was discovered in NagVis 1.9b12. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed to the "nagvis-master/share/userfiles/gadgets/std_table.php" URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.
