Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability in Affected Web Applications

CVE-2024-47917

What is CVE-2024-47917?

The vulnerability allows attackers to exploit improper neutralization of input during web page generation, enabling cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue arises when web applications fail to adequately sanitize user input, letting malicious scripts be executed in the context of the user's session. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, session hijacking, and defacement of the web application, making it crucial for organizations to implement robust input validation and sanitation mechanisms.
