CVE-2023-42233Network attack vector

Browser script execution via undisclosed FilterEditor handling

Published Jan 13, 2025 · Updated Jan 14, 2025

Cross-site scripting in Pat Infinite Solutions HelpdeskAdvanced 11.0.33 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script via Filter/FilterEditor. The public record identifies Filter/FilterEditor as the injection locus but does not disclose the input field, output context, or missing neutralization operation. Exploitation requires a victim to interact with attacker-controlled content, and the script runs in the application's browser origin, enabling limited reads or changes to data available to that victim.
