Technical details
The vulnerability is a stored or reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw (CWE-79) in the soho-dropdown component of ids-enterprise. The component fails to properly encode output, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript that will be executed when the dropdown is rendered. The attack vector is network-based and requires the component to be instantiated with attacker-controlled input. No authentication is required if the vulnerable component is exposed in a public-facing interface. Attackers can achieve arbitrary JavaScript execution in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or malware injection. The vulnerability was patched in version 4.18.2; users should upgrade immediately.
