    Changed Description A DOM-based, cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the OpenStack dashboard, where user input was not filtered correctly. An authenticated dashboard user could exploit the flaw by injecting an AngularJS template into a dashboard form (for example, using an image's description), triggering the vulnerability when another user browsed the affected page. As a result, this flaw could result in user accounts being compromised (for example, user-access credentials being stolen). Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) 8.0.1 and earlier and 9.0.0 through 9.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by injecting an AngularJS template in a dashboard form.
