Summary

Alertmanager handles alerts sent by client applications such as the
Prometheus server. An attacker with the permission to perform POST
requests on the /api/v1/alerts endpoint could be able to execute
arbitrary JavaScript code on the users of Prometheus Alertmanager.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
0.15.3+ds-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your prometheus-alertmanager packages.
