Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Element maps-ng V47 (All versions < V47.12.3), Element maps-ng V48 (All versions < V48.11.3), Element maps-ng V49 (All versions < V49.16.1). The si-map component does not properly neutralize user-controllable input of the points property that is used to render the tooltip label of map pins.
This could allow an attacker to craft a malicious URL that, when loaded by a victim and the map pin is hovered over, executes arbitrary script code within the victim's browser session.

AI Analysis

Impact

An input validation flaw in the si‑map component of Siemens Element maps‑ng allows unsanitized user‑controlled input in the points property to be rendered as a tooltip label for map pins. When a crafted URL containing malicious script is loaded and the pin is hovered, the script executes in the victim’s browser context, potentially leading to credential theft, phishing, or other client‑side attacks. The vulnerability is a classic reflected XSS exploitation (CWE‑79) and delivers code execution without the need for elevated privileges on the server.

Affected Systems

The flaw exists in Element maps‑ng V47 for all releases below V47.12.3, in Element maps‑ng V48 for all releases below V48.11.3, and in Element maps‑ng V49 for all releases below V49.16.1. Only Siemens customers using these specific product versions are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7 indicates moderate to high severity, and the exploit is feasible in a typical web‑browser scenario. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the nature of XSS suggests attackers could create malicious links that appear benign. The attack vector is reflected, locally or remotely, via a crafted URL that a user opens in a browser that has the map component rendered.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Siemens Element maps‑ng to V47.12.3 or newer, V48.11.3 or newer, or V49.16.1 or newer as released by Siemens.
  • Validate and sanitize all user‑controlled inputs for the points property on the server side so that no script tags or event handlers reach the rendered tooltip.
  • Disable or restrict tooltip rendering for untrusted users until a patch is applied.
