AI-suggested
A fix is available that replaces the vulnerable v-html usage with Vue :class binding, constrains icon values to valid FontAwesome classes, and validates input on the backend before storage. Users should upgrade to a version later than 1.4.0 where these mitigations are implemented. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the vendor advisory content provided, so check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
Description
Affected versions of cti-transmute allow a tag's icon value to be stored and later interpolated into HTML through Vue's v-html. The helper mapIcon() previously constructed an HTML string directly from the icon value: <i class="fas fa-${name}"></i> Because the icon is user-supplied, a crafted value could break out of the intended markup and inject attacker-controlled HTML. When the affected tag was later rendered, including on the administrative triage interface, the payload could execute in the viewer's browser. The patch mitigates the issue at multiple layers: v-html is replaced with Vue :class binding, mapIcon() now returns only a constrained FontAwesome class string, and the backend validates icons against the FontAwesome catalogue or a strict [a-z0-9-]{1,40} slug pattern before storing them.
