CVE-2024-25573:
PingFederate vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the PingFederate Administrative Console, tracked as CVE-2024-25573. The vulnerability allows unsanitized user-supplied data to be saved in the console, which could subsequently trigger the execution of JavaScript code during user processing (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v4.0 score of 6.9 (MEDIUM) with the following vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:A/VC:L/VI:H/VA:N/SC:L/SI:H/SA:N/S:P/AU:N/R:U/RE:M/U:Red. The issue specifically relates to the handling of user-supplied data in the Administrative Console, where insufficient sanitization of input allows for the persistence and subsequent execution of malicious JavaScript code (NVD).
Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of other users' sessions when they access the affected Administrative Console. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or administrative functions (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are advised to refer to the PingFederate release notes and documentation for mitigation steps and updates (PingFederate Docs, PingFederate Downloads).
