Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NetIQ Privileged Account Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7438/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q4cr-wchq-x2c6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Privileged Account Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers via DOM modification, potentially leading to session hijacking or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"privileged_account_manager","vendor":"netiq"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"NetIQ Privileged Account Manager before 3.1 Patch Update 3 allowed cross site scripting attacks via javascript DOM modification using the supplied cookie parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"DOM cross site scripting attack against NetIQ Privileged Account Manager","id":"CVE-2017-7438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7439"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross site scripting attacks against NetIQ Privileged Account Manager","id":"CVE-2017-7437"},"products":["Privileged Account Manager"],"published":"2018-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in NetIQ Privileged Account Manager (PAM) 3.1 and 3.2","id":"CVE-2018-1343","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-06"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Cross site scripting attacks against NetIQ Privileged Account Manager","id":"CVE-2017-7437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["NetIQ"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers via DOM modification, potentially leading to session hijacking or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7438/"}
