@dependencytrack/frontend vulnerable to Persistent Cross-Site-Scripting via welcome message

Quick fix

GHSA-7xvh-c266-cfr5 — @dependencytrack/frontend: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install @dependencytrack/frontend@4.13.6

Details

### Description

Since version 4.12.0, Dependency-Track users with the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission can configure a "welcome message", which is HTML that is to be rendered on the login page for branding purposes.

When rendering the welcome message, Dependency-Track versions before 4.13.6 did not properly sanitize the HTML, allowing arbitrary JavaScript to be executed.

### Impact

Users with the `SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION` permission (i.e., administrators), can exploit this weakness to execute arbitrary JavaScript for users browsing to the login page.

### Patches

The issue has been fixed in version 4.13.6.
