{"id":"CVE-2018-8046","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2018-8046","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T20:09:45.482Z","title":"The getTip() method of Action Columns of Sencha Ext JS 4 to 6 before 6.6.0 is vulnerable to XSS attacks, even when passed HTML-escaped data.","description":"The getTip() method of Action Columns of Sencha Ext JS 4 to 6 before 6.6.0 is vulnerable to XSS attacks, even when passed HTML-escaped data. This framework brings no built-in XSS protection, so the developer has to ensure that data is correctly sanitized. However, the getTip() method of Action Columns takes HTML-escaped data and un-escapes it. If the tooltip contains user-controlled data, an attacker could exploit this to create a cross-site scripting attack, even when developers took precautions and escaped data.","published":"2018-07-05T20:29:01.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:04:10.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":["sencha/ext js"],"epss":{"score":0.66565,"percentile":0.99283,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.42627,"percentile":0.9869},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.67014,"percentile":0.99264}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 66.6%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs.
