CVE-2023-5986Network attack vector

Open redirect via URL-encoded login parameter

Published Nov 15, 2023 · Updated Dec 2, 2024

Open redirect in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert allows remote attackers to redirect browsers after login. The web application accepts a URL-encoded destination and redirects to the attacker-chosen domain after successful authentication, enabling cross-site scripting delivery. Exploitation requires a victim to complete login and follow the crafted flow; reported impact is browser redirection and possible script execution rather than service interruption.
