CVE-2023-46596

Stored XSS via unvalidated workflow fields

Published Feb 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Stored XSS in AlgoSec FireFlow A32.20, A32.50, and A32.60 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through workflow fields. VisualFlow saves special HTML characters in the Name, Description, and Configuration File fields without validating them before use. A high-privileged user must save the payload and another user must interact with the resulting content, enabling exposure or alteration of application data.
