Based on the description, it is inferred that this flaw involves the Mission Portal component of CFEngine Enterprise. This XSS can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement when a victim views a crafted page.

Affected Systems

Affected versions are CFEngine Enterprise 3.24.3 and earlier until 3.24.4, and 3.27.0 and earlier until 3.27.1. The flaw exists in the Mission Portal functionality of those releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.1 and the EPSS score indicates a probability of exploitation in the <1% range. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
