What is CVE-2024-36494?
CVE-2024-36494 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Image Access GmbH Scan2Net, published on 12 Dec 2024. 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
Due to missing input sanitization, an attacker can perform cross-site-scripting attacks and run arbitrary Javascript in the browser of other users. The login page at /cgi/slogin.cgi suffers from XSS due to improper input filtering of the -tsetup+-uuser parameter, which can only be exploited if the target user is not already logged in. This makes it ideal for login form phishing attempts.
Weakness: CWE-79
