CVE-2024-44088

What is CVE-2024-44088?

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Apache Geode web-api that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts. By enticing a logged-in user to click on a specially-crafted link, the attacker can execute unauthorized scripts in the user's browser context. This could result in the theft of session information, potentially enabling unauthorized access and account takeover. It is crucial for users to upgrade to version 1.15.2 to mitigate this risk and enhance their security.
