CVE-2010-0152: Affected product: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Recommended actionWithin 7 days

Medium technical severity with public exploit material referenced by a structured source; prioritise exposed affected systems while verifying vendor guidance.

Fix not verified

What, why and how

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Local Management Interface (LMI) on the IBM Proventia Network Mail Security System (PNMSS) appliance with firmware before 2.5.0.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the date1 parameter to pvm_messagestore.php, (2) the userfilter parameter to pvm_user_management.php, (3) the ping parameter to sys_tools.php in a sys_ping.php action, (4) the action parameter to pvm_cert_commaction.php, (5) the action parameter to pvm_cert_serveraction.php, (6) the action parameter to pvm_smtpstore.php, (7) the l parameter to sla/index.php, or (8) unspecified stored data; and allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (9) saved search filters.

What

Why

Attacker-controlled content can reach a browser as executable script without sufficient output encoding or sanitisation.

How

An attacker operating through the affected interface may attempt exploitation when the stated preconditions are met. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

What

Why

Attacker-controlled content can reach a browser as executable script without sufficient output encoding or sanitisation.

How

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material

Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.

Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

Likely attack path: the affected interface → Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface: Unspecified
Privileges required: None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible

Weakness ? CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.: CWE-79 ↗
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'). The product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users.
CVSS vector ? CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Post-exploitation / living off the land: No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
