CVE-2024-8401Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unneutralized folder names

Published Jan 28, 2025 · Updated Jan 28, 2025

Stored XSS in Schneider Electric EcoStruxure power software allows remote authenticated users to execute web code through folder names. The web interface renders attacker-controlled folder names without sufficient neutralization, causing stored script content to run when a user views the affected page. An authenticated account must first rename a folder, and subsequent user interaction exposes the viewer to script-driven data access or unintended software operation.
