Highcharts Grid: `javascript:` URL in credits.href runs script on click

### Impact An attacker who controls the Grid configuration can set `credits.href` to a `javascript:` URL. The value is not validated against an allowed-scheme list before it is applied to the credits link, so activating that link runs attacker-supplied script in the origin of the page hosting the Grid. Exploitation requires that untrusted data reach the Grid configuration and that a user activate the credits link. Script running this way has the same access to page data, storage and session state as the hosting application. ### Workarounds Paste in after the Grid Pro module is imported, before a Grid is created. ```javascript const { AST } = Grid; function sanitize(options) { const credits = options && options.credits; if (credits && typeof credits.href === 'string') { const filtered = AST.filterUserAttributes({ href: credits.href }); if (!filtered.href) { delete credits.href; } } return options; } // Both Grid.grid() and grid.update() funnel through loadUserOptions, so one // hook covers both entry points. const { prototype } = Grid.Grid; const loadUserOptions = prototype.loadUserOptions; prototype.loadUserOptions = function (options, ...rest) { sanitize(options); return loadUserOptions.call(this, options, ...rest); }; ``` ### Obtaining the patched version The patched releases are available from all the usual distribution channels. With npm, upgrade the affected package to the patched version listed above, for example `npm install @highcharts/grid-lite@3.2.0`. If you load Highcharts Grid from a CDN, use a versioned URL, for example `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@highcharts/grid-lite@3.2.0/grid-lite.js`. For more on each installation method, see the [installation guide](https://www.highcharts.com/docs/grid/installation).
