Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Apr 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately deploy the vendor-provided patches and updates to OX App Suite to remediate the vulnerability. Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict access controls and monitoring to detect unusual account activities that might indicate temporary account compromise. User education campaigns should be conducted to raise awareness about social engineering tactics, emphasizing caution when interacting with unexpected upsell content or unfamiliar accounts. Employing multi-factor authentication (MFA) can reduce the risk of account takeover. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be tuned to detect and block suspicious script injections or API misuse. Regular security assessments and penetration testing of the OX App Suite deployment can help identify residual risks. Finally, organizations should establish incident response plans specific to web application attacks and data exfiltration scenarios to minimize damage if exploitation occurs.

Description

Upsell advertisement information of an account can be manipulated to execute script code in the context of the users browser session. To exploit this an attacker would require temporary access to a users account or an successful social engineering attack to lure users to maliciously configured accounts. Attackers could perform malicious API requests or extract information from the users account. Please deploy the provided updates and patch releases. Sanitization of user-defined upsell content has been improved. No publicly available exploits are known.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality and integrity of user data within OX App Suite environments. Attackers exploiting this flaw could access sensitive corporate communications, perform unauthorized actions via API calls, or exfiltrate information, potentially leading to data breaches or lateral movement within networks. Given that OX App Suite is used by various enterprises and service providers across Europe, especially in Germany and neighboring countries where Open-Xchange GmbH is headquartered, the impact could be substantial. The requirement for temporary account access or social engineering reduces the likelihood of widespread automated exploitation but increases the risk of targeted attacks against high-value users or organizations. This could affect sectors with sensitive data such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies. Additionally, the vulnerability could undermine trust in collaboration platforms and lead to compliance issues under GDPR if personal data is compromised.
