CVE-2026-66155: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Siemens Element maps-ng V47
Description
CVE-2026-66155 is a high severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Siemens Element maps-ng versions prior to V47.12.3, V48.11.3, and V49.16.1. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of user-controllable input in the si-map component's points property, which is used to render tooltip labels on map pins. An attacker can craft a malicious URL that executes arbitrary script code in the victim's browser when the map pin tooltip is hovered over.

Technical Analysis
This vulnerability affects Siemens Element maps-ng versions before V47.12.3, V48.11.3, and V49.16.1. The si-map component does not properly sanitize the points property input used in tooltip labels for map pins, leading to a cross-site scripting (CWE-79) flaw. Exploitation requires a victim to load a crafted URL and hover over a map pin, causing arbitrary script execution within the victim's browser session. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.6, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges and user interaction, and high confidentiality impact with limited integrity impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the victim's browser session. This can lead to theft of sensitive information or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not impact availability. The attack requires the victim to load a malicious URL and interact by hovering over a map pin tooltip.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Siemens vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is stated in the provided data. Until a patch is available, avoid loading untrusted URLs containing map pins or disable tooltip display if possible.
