CVE-2023-48682Network attack vector

Stored XSS via crafted unit names

Published Feb 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Stored XSS in Acronis Cyber Protect 16 before build 37391 lets remote authenticated users execute script through a crafted unit name. Acronis identifies the unit-name field but has not disclosed the storage or rendering code that fails to neutralize the value. Exploitation requires a highly privileged account to save the name and user interaction to render it, exposing browser-accessible data and actions without interrupting service.
