CVE-2020-35170Network attack vector

Authenticated XSS via injected JavaScript

Published Jan 5, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Dell Unisphere for PowerMax before 9.1.0.9 allows remote authenticated users to affect other sessions via injected JavaScript. The advisory does not identify the specific input field or escaping operation; it only states that attacker-supplied JavaScript is injected into web responses. Exploitation requires an authenticated account and another authenticated user session, with impact on session confidentiality and integrity rather than demonstrated service interruption.
