ethyca-fides is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper validation in the privacy_experience.py , which results in inadequate verification of privacy policy URLs. This flaw allows an attacker to create a malicious payload in the privacy policy URL. When this manipulated privacy notice is served by an integrated website, it can trigger JavaScript execution. It’s important to note that exploitation is limited to Admin UI users with the contributor role or higher.
