CVE-2020-13408

Administrator access via stored and reflected scripts

Published Feb 9, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Tufin SecureTrack before R20-2 GA allows remote attackers to gain administrator access through stored payloads. The disclosure does not identify the affected input or page; it states that attacker-supplied script is reflected to a user and also stored in the database for later execution. An administrator must trigger the payload, after which an unauthenticated or low-privileged attacker can obtain administrator-level access.
