[CKAN-Security] [ckan-dev] New patch releases, next Wednesday 3rd July

Thu Jul 18 04:55:20 UTC 2019

Hi again Adrià,

Just to let you know I touched base with the security email you suggested but we've heard nothing back.

We have an XSS issue to raise in CKAN when used alongside the DCAT module and outputting json-ld into the markup.

Happy to share the steps to replicate if you like. We've put a fix in our product and happy to do a more coordinated disclosure with you folk to give people time to patch (literally a 1 line fix to escape the generated json). 

Many thanks,

Hi Cam,

Thanks for reaching out. The releases branches that will eventually become the patch releases are the dev-v2.X one. I can also provide debian packages for these if you'd like.

To discuss security related issues please reach out to security at ckan.org, which forwards privately to the tech team

Best,

Adrià
