Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-40460 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SierraWireless ALEOS. 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-2023-40460/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40460/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40460","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40460/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40460","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fv86-7h6v-h3qg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sierra Wireless ALEOS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can execute client-side scripts via improper file validation in ACEManager, causing device disruption until restart.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SWI","cpe":[{"product":"aleos","vendor":"sierrawireless"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"The ACEManager\ncomponent of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier does not\n\nvalidate uploaded\nfile names and types, which could potentially allow\n\nan authenticated\nuser to perform client-side script execution within\n\nACEManager, altering\nthe device functionality until the device is\n\nrestarted.","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":"Improper input leads to DoS","id":"CVE-2023-40460","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in ACEManager","id":"CVE-2023-40461"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper input leads to DoS","id":"CVE-2023-40459"},"products":["ALEOS"],"published":"2023-12-04","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Sierra Wireless AirLink ALEOS Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type","id":"CVE-2018-4063","kev_date_added":"2025-12-12","published":"2019-05-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-08-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10251","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"ALEOS AceManager Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2019-11857","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in ALEOS","id":"CVE-2022-46649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-10"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Improper input leads to DoS","id":"CVE-2023-40465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-04"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-25","vendors":["SierraWireless"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can execute client-side scripts via improper file validation in ACEManager, causing device disruption until restart.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40460/"}
