Honeywell XL Web Controller – Cross-Site Scripting
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Honeywell XL Web Controller due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script code into the application, which will be executed in the context of the user's browser. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be performed to ensure that untrusted data is not used to dynamically generate web pages. Additionally, the application should use a secure flag when setting cookies, and the application should use a secure channel (HTTPS) when transmitting sensitive data.
