Unauthenticated browser script execution via reflected action input
Published Sep 28, 2022 · Updated May 20, 2025
Reflected XSS in ETAP Lighting International NV ETAP Safety Manager 1.0.0.32 allows remote attackers to execute HTML and JavaScript. The ESMweb application returns the action GET parameter in a response without proper sanitization, so markup and script become executable page content. Exploitation requires a user to open a crafted URL; the script then runs in that user’s browser session with the affected site’s origin.
