CVE-2026-44245: Kyverno policy-reporter-ui has XSS via Stored Property Values in PropertyCard Component
Vue 3’s v-html directive is the framework-documented mechanism for injecting raw HTML, and it intentionally disables the auto-escaping that {{ }} interpolation provides. The PropertyCard.vue component uses v-html for the else branch of the URL check, meaning any non-URL string value flows directly into the DOM as HTML. The isURL() guard only filters values that parse as http: or https: URLs, so any HTML payload not starting with those schemes (e.g., <img src=x onerror=alert(1)> padded to exceed 75 chars) bypasses it entirely. The data originates from Kubernetes PolicyReport .results[].properties fields, which are arbitrary string maps populated by policy engines and potentially by any principal with write access to PolicyReport objects in the cluster. No DOMPurify or equivalent HTML sanitization library is present anywhere in the frontend codebase, confirming there is no compensating control between the API response and the sink.
This vulnerability was reproduced on the latest policy reporter UI version – 2.5.1.
