Severity: important 

Affected versions:

- Apache ECharts (echarts) before 6.1.0

Description:

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Apache ECharts in the 
Lines series tooltip rendering logic.




This issue affects Apache ECharts: from before 6.1.0.

In versions prior to 6.1.0, if both Lines series and tooltip are used, and no 
user-specified tooltip.formatter is provided, and series.data[i].name is 
specified, raw HTML string series.data[i].name can be rendered through 
innerHTML sink into tooltip content. Although tooltip is allowed to accept 
user-provided raw HTML via a custom tooltip.formatter, the built-in tooltip 
formatters conventionally perform HTML escaping automatically. This case breaks 
that convention and may unexpectedly lead to script execution when tooltips are 
displayed.


Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.0 if using the Lines series in 
this way, which fixes the issue.
