An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-5838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IT Analytics. 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-2020-5838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5838/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xwv4-ppgv-h9j7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec IT Analytics","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users in Symantec IT Analytics, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"it_analytics","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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":"Symantec IT Analytics, prior to 2.9.1, may be susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) exploit, which is a type of issue that can potentially enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","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":"Cross-site scripting in IT Analytics","id":"CVE-2020-5838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Symantec Endpoint Detection And Response","id":"CVE-2020-5839"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5837"},"products":["IT Analytics"],"published":"2020-05-13","related":[],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users in Symantec IT Analytics, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5838/"}
