CVE-2023-0608Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via incomplete live-edit sanitization

Published Feb 1, 2023 · Updated Mar 26, 2025

DOM-based cross-site scripting in Microweber before 1.3.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim's browser. The live-edit save path passes attacker-controlled HTML through an XSSClean filter that fails to remove every executable construct before browser parsing. A low-privileged account is required; NVD rates victim interaction as required, while the CNA assessment does not.
