CVE-2024-22241Network attack vector

Account takeover via stored login banner script

Published Feb 6, 2024 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Stored cross-site scripting in VMware Aria Operations for Networks 6.x allows remote authenticated users to take over accounts via the login banner. The administrator-controlled banner field stores a malicious payload without neutralizing browser-executable content, which runs when the banner is displayed. Exploitation requires administrator privileges and a user to view the poisoned banner; successful execution compromises that user's account.
