A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in netbox version 4.0.3. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML through a crafted payload injected into the Name parameter at the /dcim/power-feeds/{id}/edit/ endpoint (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as a Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) issue with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 6.1 (Medium). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requires no privileges (PR:N), needs user interaction (UI:R), and has a changed scope (S:C). The impact affects both confidentiality and integrity at a low level (C:L, I:L) with no impact on availability (A:N) (NVD).

The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML in the context of the user's browser session. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed in the context of the authenticated user (NVD).

The vulnerability requires no privileges to exploit but does need user interaction. The attack can be initiated remotely through the network, and the attack complexity is considered low, making it relatively straightforward to exploit (NVD).
