Authenticated script execution via stored management input
Published Apr 29, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored XSS in HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager allows remote authenticated users to run scripts in an administrator's browser. The web administration interface stores attacker-supplied content without sufficient neutralization and later renders it as executable script, although HPE has not disclosed the affected input or handler. Exploitation requires high-privilege access and an administrative user to view the stored content; execution remains confined to the affected interface's browser context.
