CVE-2018-6189
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2018-6189

# Summary
The application can suggest metadata tags for assets, and in doing so it can 
execute JavaScript entered previously by a malicious user.

# Vendor Description

allows you to identify and manage both internal and external threats, report 
risks, and be compliant with current and future regulations (such as PCI and

# Remediation
F-Secure has remediated this issue; no action required for cloud users or 
on-premise users receiving updates.

# Technical Details

The frontend application issues a PUT request to the server when metadata tags 
are updated:
PUT /api/latest/vulnerabilityscans/tags/batch HTTP/1.1
Host: portal.radar.f-secure.com
[...]

The Tags parameter in the JSON request body can be modified to contain 
arbitrary JavaScript, e.g.:
[...], "Tags":["<img src=a onerror=\"alert(1)\">"], [...]

This script will execute whenever the frontend attempts to suggest tags, e.g. 
when a user opts to add tags to a new asset.
