Until an official fix is available, avoid exposing untrusted input in descriptions rendered with dangerouslySetInnerHTML or implement client-side sanitization to neutralize malicious markup.
Description
Amundsen frontend through 4.3.0 renders table, dashboard, and feature descriptions with dangerouslySetInnerHTML without HTML sanitization in ResourceListItem components. Attackers can inject malicious markup like img elements with onerror handlers into descriptions via the metadata service or Elasticsearch, executing JavaScript in every user's browser that views search results.
