Privileged account creation via stored report XSS
Published Jun 26, 2025 · Updated Jun 26, 2025
Stored XSS in ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus 5722 and earlier allows remote attackers to create privileged accounts through a report. The flaw resides in the Folder-wise Read Mails with Subject report, but the vendor has not disclosed the exact input field, output sink, or failed encoding operation. Exploitation requires a user to view the stored content; successful script execution grants application access through a newly created privileged account.
