CVE-2010-4589

Vulnerability

IBM ENOVIA 6 is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the emxFramework.FilterParameterPattern property. Attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML through vectors related to this property, leading to reflected XSS attacks. [1]

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious URL or input that includes injected script code within the affected parameter. The attack requires no authentication if the vulnerable endpoint is publicly accessible, and it relies on tricking a user into clicking the crafted link or visiting a malicious page. [1]

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session. This can lead to session hijacking, data theft, or defacement of the application interface, with potential impacts on confidentiality and integrity. [1]

Mitigation

As of the publication date (2010-12-22), no vendor-provided fix or workaround was available in the referenced advisories. Users should monitor IBM's advisory channels for a security update. [1]
