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

# 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.
