Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in ScadaBR due to improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags within URL handling (CWE-80). The vulnerability is reachable over the network without authentication, though it requires user interaction (e.g., clicking a crafted link). Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized actions. As of the advisory date, the project appears to be unmaintained and no official patch is available.
