CVE-2024-42200Network attack vector

Stored script execution via weak input validation

Published Apr 15, 2025 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Stored XSS in HCL BigFix Web Reports allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser through saved input. Web Reports stores insufficiently validated user input and later emits it into a report page without adequate neutralization, but HCL has not disclosed the affected parameter or code locus. A low-privileged account must store the payload and a separate user must open the affected content; resulting script access is limited to that user's browser context.
