CVE-2024-22168Network attack vector

Browser-session code execution via unencoded input

Published Jun 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Cross-site scripting in affected cloud-storage web apps before 4.28.0-102 allows attackers to execute browser-side code. Affected web-app input handling places attacker-controlled data into generated pages without the filtering and encoding needed to neutralize script content. Exploitation requires active user interaction with attacker-crafted content and can redirect the browser to a crafted domain for credential reset or execute arbitrary code in the browser session.
