Description
It was found that the Key Recovery Authority (KRA) Agent Service did not properly sanitize recovery request search page, enabling a Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could trick an authenticated victim into executing specially crafted Javascript code.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated Low : the web UI uses client TLS authentication, therefore stealing session cookies will not be sufficient for unauthorized access. The vulnerable page itself does not contain secrets.
