A content spoofing vulnerability was found in Kiali. It was discovered that Kiali does not implement error handling when the page or endpoint being accessed cannot be found. This issue allows an attacker to perform arbitrary text injection when an error response is retrieved from the URL being accessed.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/kiali/kiali, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/kiali/kiali to 1.57.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-3962 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
