CVE-2025-27705Network attack vector

Administrator data exposure via undisclosed console XSS

Published Mar 19, 2025 · Updated Mar 19, 2025

Cross-site scripting in Absolute Secure Access before 13.53 allows attackers to expose console data when a system administrator logs in. Absolute Security identifies the administrative console but has not published the affected input, page, or faulty output-encoding operation. Exploitation requires system administrator permissions, a high-complexity condition, and an active second-administrator login; availability and system integrity are unaffected.
