CVE-2024-5420
CVE-2024-5420: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in SEH Computertechnik products. This vulnerability affects the utnserver Pro, utnserver ProMAX, and INU-100 web interfaces, specifically versions 20.1.22 and below, due to missing input validation. Successful exploitation allows for stored XSS attacks, potentially enabling attackers to inject malicious scripts into the web application viewed by other users. Although the CVSS score is 0, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, indicating a low but non-negligible risk. This issue stems from CWE-79. While the immediate risk might be low, XSS attacks can lead to account compromise and data theft, highlighting the importance of patching this security flaw. Organizations using affected SEH Computertechnik products should update to the latest versions to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
