## Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Esri Portal for ArcGIS versions 11.5 and earlier, where an administratively privileged attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code that persists in the application. This code executes in the browsers of other users who view the affected content, without requiring user interaction beyond normal portal usage. The vulnerability requires administrative privileges to exploit, limiting the threat surface to trusted or compromised admin accounts. Affected versions include ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1, 11.3, and 11.5; users should upgrade to the latest long-term support release.
