What is CVE-2023-28350?
CVE-2023-28350 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 30 May 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
An issue was discovered in Faronics Insight 10.0.19045 on Windows. Attacker-supplied input is not validated/sanitized before being rendered in both the Teacher and Student Console applications, enabling an attacker to execute JavaScript in these applications. Due to the rich and highly privileged functionality offered by the Teacher Console, the ability to silently exploit Cross Site Scripting (XSS) on the Teacher Machine enables remote code execution on any connected student machine (and the teacher's machine).
