CVE-2024-28979Network attack vector

Administrator-level script injection via undisclosed UI flaw

Published May 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 20, 2024

Cross-site scripting in Dell OpenManage Enterprise before 4.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through the web UI. Dell has not published the vulnerable UI component or the input-handling operation that fails to neutralize attacker-controlled content. Exploitation requires high privileges and another user to interact with the injected content, enabling script execution in that user's browser context.
