Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows Admin Center due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a legitimate user into clicking a malicious link or visiting a compromised website. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized data access, or spoofing of administrative actions. The vulnerability is tracked as CWE-79 and affects versions starting from 1809.0 up to 2511.
