CVE-2023-43698Network attack vector

Browser code execution via unneutralized web input

Published Oct 9, 2023 · Updated Sep 19, 2024

Cross-site scripting in RDT400 on SICK AG APU0200 all versions allows remote attackers to execute code in a client's browser. RDT400 inserts attacker-supplied code into generated website content without neutralizing browser-executable input. No authentication is required, but a client must load the injected content; execution is confined to that client's browser context.
