Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-40461 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-2023-40461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40461/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40461","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-78cf-35f9-pxqf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sierra Wireless ALEOS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated administrator can trigger stored cross-site scripting via a file upload field in ACEManager, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SWI","cpe":[{"product":"aleos","vendor":"sierrawireless"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The ACEManager\ncomponent of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier allows an\n\nauthenticated user\nwith Administrator privileges to access a file\n\nupload field which\ndoes not fully validate the file name, creating a\n\nStored Cross-Site\nScripting condition.","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 vulnerability in ACEManager","id":"CVE-2023-40461","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Improper input leads to DoS","id":"CVE-2023-40462"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper input leads to DoS","id":"CVE-2023-40460"},"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 administrator can trigger stored cross-site scripting via a file upload field in ACEManager, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40461/"}
