Impact
Cross‑Site Scripting was discovered in the Menu component (@progress/kendo-react-layout) of Progress Software KendoReact. The flaw allows a low‑privileged attacker who can influence the menu item data to provide an unsafe URL that, when a user selects the menu item, causes arbitrary JavaScript to run in the origin of the application.
Affected Systems
Progress Software KendoReact, versions 1.3.0 through 16.1.0, are vulnerable. The issue applies to the @progress/kendo-react-layout Menu component in any application that includes these versions.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.4, indicating moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a low‑privileged attacker who can supply or influence the Menu item data, typically through user input or a compromised data source. Since the exploit occurs when a user selects the menu item, the attack vector is primarily client‑side and hinges on the presence of a crafted URL. The low exploitation probability does not eliminate the threat to applications that rely on untrusted data for menu items.
