CVE-2025-40903: CWE-79 Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Nozomi Networks Guardian
A Stored HTML Injection vulnerability was discovered in the Schedule Restore Archive functionality due to improper validation of an input parameter. An authenticated user with administrative privileges can define a malicious restore schedule containing HTML tags. When a victim views the affected schedule, the injected HTML renders in their browser, enabling phishing and possibly open redirect attacks. Full XSS exploitation and direct information disclosure are prevented by the existing input validation and Content Security Policy configuration.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79) in the Schedule Restore Archive functionality of Nozomi Networks Guardian. An authenticated user with administrative privileges can insert malicious HTML tags into restore schedules. When other users view these schedules, the injected HTML is rendered in their browsers, which can facilitate phishing and open redirect attacks. Existing input validation and Content Security Policy configurations limit the impact by preventing full XSS exploitation and direct information disclosure. No official fix or patch has been disclosed as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an authenticated administrator to inject HTML content that is rendered in other users' browsers when viewing restore schedules. This can lead to phishing attacks and open redirect scenarios. However, the risk of full cross-site scripting exploitation and direct information disclosure is mitigated by existing input validation and Content Security Policy. The overall impact is considered medium severity.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official fix or patch is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor vendor advisories for updates. Since the vulnerability requires administrative authentication and existing controls limit exploitation, immediate urgent remediation may not be necessary. Review and restrict administrative access as a precautionary measure until a patch is released.
