CVE-2025-64758: @dependencytrack/frontend vulnerable to Persistent Cross-Site-Scripting via welcome message

November 17, 2025

Since version 4.12.0, Dependency-Track users with the SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION permission can configure a “welcome message”, which is HTML that is to be rendered on the login page for branding purposes.

When rendering the welcome message, Dependency-Track versions before 4.13.6 did not properly sanitize the HTML, allowing arbitrary JavaScript to be executed.
