An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-73169 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Advantech EKI-1242EIMS. 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-2026-73169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-73169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73169/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-73169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5fp2-4gpv-wpxm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Advantech EKI-1242EIMS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Modbus interface, executing them in administrators' browsers to potentially hijack sessions or bypass security controls.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Nozomi","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Nozomi Networks Labs identified a CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in the Modbus transaction management interface of Advantech EKI-1242EIMS in firmware version V1.06.01 that allows a remote authenticated attacker to store malicious script content that executes in the browser of any administrator who later opens an affected management page.","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 in EKI-1242EIMS","id":"CVE-2026-73169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in EKI-1242EIMS","id":"CVE-2026-73170"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in EKI-1242EIMS","id":"CVE-2026-73167"},"products":["EKI-1242EIMS","EKI-1242IEIMS"],"published":"2026-09-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-09-17","vendors":["Advantech"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Modbus interface, executing them in administrators' browsers to potentially hijack sessions or bypass security controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-73169/"}
