Title:
  XSS in noVNC

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisory:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I recently reported an XSS bug in noVNC, which has since been fixed in
  0.6.2: https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/issues/748.

  Depending on how OpenStack pulls in the noVNC viewer, it might be
  worth a security note or release.

  Vulnerability Summary:

  It's possible to set up a malicious noVNC server, then send someone a
  URL like http://GOOD_NOVNC/vnc_auto.html?host=BAD_NOVNC. The good noVNC
  will use a WebSocket to connect to the malicious one, then display a
  status message that runs JavaScript in the user's browser.
