CVE-2022-21937Network attack vector

Authenticated web-interface script injection

Published Jun 15, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Johnson Controls Metasys ADS/ADX/OAS before 10.1.5 and 11.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to inject code into the web interface. The vendor record does not disclose the specific web component or input-handling operation that permits the injection. Access requires a user account and browser interaction, and the documented consequence is script execution in the interface with potential confidentiality and integrity impact.
