CVE-2020-5336Network attack vector

Unauthenticated JavaScript execution via URL injection

Published May 4, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

URL injection in Archer Platform before 6.7 P1 allows remote attackers to execute malicious JavaScript by tricking a victim application user. The affected web application's URL handling accepts attacker-controlled URL content and renders it so a victim browser executes JavaScript in the application context. Exploitation requires the victim to follow the crafted interaction; the documented impact is limited to reading or altering data available to that victim session, with no stated service interruption.
