CVE-2024-0318Network attack vector

Browser script execution via stored profile fields

Published Jan 15, 2024 · Updated Oct 23, 2024

Stored XSS in FireEye HXTool 4.6 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in a user's browser through crafted profile fields. The Profile Name and Hostname/IP fields store attacker-controlled JavaScript and render it without neutralization when corresponding items load. Exploitation requires a user to load the poisoned item and permits script execution in that user's HXTool browser context.
