CVE-2019-10178Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unsanitized Token IDs

Published Mar 18, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Stored XSS in Dogtag PKI pki-core allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript when an authenticated user views a crafted TPS activity. The Token Processing Service Activity page renders attacker-controlled Token IDs without proper output sanitization. Exploitation requires an authenticated victim to create or view the crafted activity, and the resulting script runs in that victim's browser context.
