CVE-2024-41709: Backdrop CMS does not sufficiently sanitize field labels before they are displayed in certain places

Backdrop CMS before 1.27.3 and 1.28.x before 1.28.2 does not sufficiently sanitize field labels before they are displayed in certain places. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the "administer fields" permission.

Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from missing sanitization in two key areas:

In PHP code (field.views.inc), field labels were injected into Views metadata without escaping via check_plain(), as shown in the patch adding sanitization to 'title' and 'title short' properties.
In JavaScript (views-admin.js), labels were added to the UI list without Backdrop.checkPlain(), allowing DOM-based XSS. The patches explicitly address both locations by adding sanitization, confirming their role in the vulnerability.
