An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-23956 exists.\n\nAffected product: Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent. 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-2023-23956/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23956/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-23956","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23956/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-23956","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gppq-ggm3-q93m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent, allowing execution in victim browsers and potential session hijacking.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"symantec_siteminder_webagent","vendor":"broadcom"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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":"A user can supply malicious HTML and JavaScript code that will be executed in the client browser","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2023-06-19","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2023-06-19","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"51530","stars":null,"title":"Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent v12.52 - Cross-site scripting (XSS)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent","id":"CVE-2023-23956","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Open Redirection Vulnerability in Symantec Identity Portal 14.4","id":"CVE-2023-23957"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in Advanced Secure Gateway, Content Analysis","id":"CVE-2023-23955"},"products":["Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent"],"published":"2023-05-30","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Symantec SiteMinder WebAgent, allowing execution in victim browsers and potential session hijacking.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23956/"}
