Authenticated browser script execution via Host header
Published Nov 30, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
Cross-site scripting in all Digital Alert Systems DASDEC software versions allows remote authenticated users to inject web script. Undisclosed pages after login incorporate an attacker-controlled Host header into generated HTML without safe neutralization. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction, with injected code executing in the viewing user's browser.
