## Overview

### Summary

The `AgentLogLine` dashboard component instantiated `ansi-to-html` without `escapeXML: true` and inserted the result via `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` so HTML embedded in workspace agent log lines was rendered as live markup. Server-side sanitization did not neutralize HTML metacharacters.

> **Note:** Exploitation requires a victim to view attacker-controlled agent logs in the dashboard.

### Impact

A user who could run a workspace could emit arbitrary HTML into agent logs; when another user, including an administrator, viewed the workspace page, it rendered in their session. Content Security Policy blocked inline scripts but an attacker could still inject a `meta refresh` redirect, `style` rules for UI redressing or CSS-based exfiltration or external `img` beacons. This required workspace-owner access and a victim viewing the page.

### Patches

The fix enables `escapeXML: true` so HTML metacharacters are escaped before DOM insertion.

The fix was backported to all supported release lines:

| Release line | Patched version |
|---|---|
| 2.34 | [v2.34.2](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.34.2) |
| 2.33 | [v2.33.8](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.33.8) |
| 2.32 | [v2.32.7](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.32.7) |
| 2.29 (ESR) | [v2.29.17](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases/tag/v2.29.17) |

### Workarounds

None.
