Description
Attackers carefully craft malicious scripts, such as JavaScript, and inject them into target systems; when other users access pages containing such malicious content, the scripts are automatically loaded and executed in the victim's browser.Attackers can thereby steal user cookies, hijack session privileges, and tamper with page content.Since the malicious code is stored within the system, the attack scope is broad and the concealment is strong, making it frequently employed for data theft attacks.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw allows attackers to insert malicious JavaScript code that is permanently saved in the system. When other users open affected pages, the browser automatically runs the code, enabling cookie theft, session hijack, and tampering with displayed content. Because the code is stored on the server, the vulnerability can impact many users and remains hidden until a victim interacts with the compromised page.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is present in ZTE’s ZXUniPOS NDS‑LTE point‑of‑sale product, as disclosed by ZTE. No specific firmware or software version list was provided.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.7 the issue is considered moderate severity. Exploitation is possible through the web interface where attackers can supply crafted input; the attack is performed by a remote user and relies on the application’s failure to sanitize or encode stored content. The EPSS metric is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating no known active exploits at the time of this analysis.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest firmware or software release from ZTE that includes input sanitization for stored data
  • Configure the application to reject or escape script tags and other executable input before storing it
  • Implement a Content Security Policy that restricts the execution of inline scripts and disallows loading scripts from untrusted sources
