## What is CVE-2024-47226?

CVE-2024-47226 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 22 Sep 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in NetBox 4.1.0 within the "Configuration History" feature of the "Admin" panel via a /core/config-revisions/ Add action. An authenticated user can inject arbitrary JavaScript or HTML into the "Top banner" field. NOTE: Multiple third parties have disputed this as not a vulnerability. It is argued that the configuration revision banner feature is meant to contain unsanitized HTML in order to display notifications to users. Since these fields are intended to display unsanitized HTML, this is working as intended.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-47226 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-47226 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 22 Sep 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-47226 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- pynetbox (PyPI): affected all versions up to 4.1.0-NA; no fix listed

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
