CVE-2022-44575Network attack vector

Browser script execution via reflected web input

Published Dec 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Reflected XSS in Siemens PLM Help Server V4.2 allows remote attackers to execute script by sending users a malicious link. The web interface reflects attacker-controlled request data into a response without neutralizing executable browser content, but Siemens has not identified the affected endpoint or parameter. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted link, after which the attacker-supplied script executes in that user's browser session.
