Reflected XSS via unvalidated endpoint parameter
Published Oct 25, 2022 · Updated May 7, 2025
Reflected XSS in F-Secure Policy Manager builds available through August 10, 2022 allows remote attackers to execute scripts via malicious input. An unspecified endpoint returns an unvalidated request parameter in a browser-rendered response without adequate neutralization; WithSecure has not named the endpoint or parameter. Exploitation requires a victim to open an attacker-controlled request; the resulting script runs in the Policy Manager origin and can read or alter browser-accessible data.
