Overview

CVE-2023-44760 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 23, 2023 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.8, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Concrete CMS v.9.2.1 allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted script to the Header and Footer Tracking Codes of the SEO & Statistics. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because these header/footer changes can only be made by an admin, and allowing an admin to place JavaScript there is an intentional customization feature. Also, the exploitation method claimed by "sromanhu" does not provide any access to a Concrete CMS session, because the Concrete CMS session cookie is configured as HttpOnly.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
