An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-14271 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HCL iNotes. 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-2020-14271/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14271/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-14271","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-14271/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-14271","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rxm3-3v27-86hh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HCL iNotes","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute scripts in victims' browsers via stored XSS in HCL iNotes, potentially stealing authentication credentials.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HCL","cpe":[{"product":"hcl_inotes","vendor":"hcltech"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"HCL iNotes v9, v10 and v11 is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper handling of message content.
