Technical details

HCL Aftermarket EPC version 1.0.0 fails to implement the 'X-XSS-Protection' HTTP response header. This header is a security feature intended to enable the Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) filter built into most modern web browsers. The absence of this header, classified under CWE-692, increases the risk of reflected XSS attacks. An attacker could potentially leverage this misconfiguration to execute malicious scripts in a victim's browser context, provided they can entice a user to click a specially crafted link. While many modern browsers have deprecated this specific header in favor of Content Security Policy (CSP), its absence in this product is noted as a security weakness by the vendor.
