Package : prometheus-alertmanager Version : 0.15.3+ds-3+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-40577 Debian Bug : 1050558

prometheus-alertmanager package, a component of Prometheus, an application used for event monitoring and alerting, was vulnerable to stored XSS type attack.

Alertmanager handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server. An attacker with the permission to perform POST requests on the /api/v1/alerts endpoint could be able to execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the users of Prometheus Alertmanager.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.15.3+ds-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your prometheus-alertmanager packages.

For the detailed security status of prometheus-alertmanager please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/prometheus-alertmanager
