What is CVE-2023-26061?

CVE-2023-26061 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 24 Apr 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

An issue was discovered in Nokia NetAct before 22 FP2211. On the Scheduled Search tab under the Alarm Reports Dashboard page, users can create a script to inject XSS. Input validation was missing during creation of a scheduled task. For an external attacker, it is very difficult to exploit this, because a few dynamically created parameters such as Jsession-id, a CSRF token, and an Nxsrf token would be needed. The attack can realistically only be performed by an internal user.
