CVE-2017-11195
Pulse Connect Secure 8.3R1 has Reflected XSS in launchHelp.cgi.
MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 0.90%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.90%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Pulse Connect Secure 8.3R1 has Reflected XSS in launchHelp.cgi. The helpLaunchPage parameter is reflected in an IFRAME element, if the value contains two quotes. It properly sanitizes quotes and tags, so one cannot simply close the src with a quote and inject after that. However, an attacker can use javascript: or data: to abuse this.
