CVE-2023-41791Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unneutralized translation strings

Published Nov 23, 2023 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Stored XSS in Pandora FMS 700 through 773 allows remote authenticated users to inject JavaScript through a translation string. The translation workflow accepts low-privilege input without neutralizing executable script before storing it in generated configuration content. Low-privilege access is sufficient, and execution can compromise the integrity of affected configuration files.
