CVE-2020-7575Network attack vector

Session compromise via stored access-log script injection

Published Apr 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Stored XSS in Siemens Climatix POL908 and POL909 web servers allows remote attackers to inject script through crafted GET requests. The web server records unneutralized request content on its access-log page, where a later viewer's browser executes the injected JavaScript. Network access and no prior privileges suffice to plant the payload, but execution requires a later privileged user to view the log, exposing that user's session confidentiality and integrity.
