AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, users should avoid scanning or viewing JSON-exported logs containing untrusted or suspicious Computer field data in hayabusa versions prior to 3.8.0. Monitoring vendor communications for updates is recommended.
Description
Hayabusa versions prior to 3.8.0 contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in its HTML report output that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript when a user scans JSON-exported logs containing malicious content in the Computer field. An attacker can inject JavaScript into the Computer field of JSON logs that executes in the forensic examiner's browser session when viewing the generated HTML report, leading to information disclosure or code execution.
