The official description states the product allows XSS, though specific affected components or input vectors are not detailed in the available references. The vulnerability was fixed in version 3.1.0 [1].

Exploitation

The attack likely requires the victim to interact with a crafted link or view a page containing the injected script.

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's session. This may lead to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. The full scope of potential impact (e.g., data disclosure, privilege escalation) is not elaborated in the provided sources [1].

Mitigation

The vulnerability is fixed in TLM RP version 3.1.0. Users should upgrade to this version or later. No workarounds are mentioned in the available references. The vendor has not listed this CVE in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog as of the publication date [1].
