The Web Administration interface of Network Optix Nx Witness VMS prior to version 6.1.3 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, allowing adjacent-network attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of authenticated administrators. This vulnerability can lead to the theft of session tokens, enabling an attacker to take over administrator accounts. Organizations using Nx Witness VMS on Windows, Linux, or MacOS should prioritize updating to version 6.1.3 or later to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Cross-site scripting in the Web Administration interface of Network Optix Nx Witness VMS before version 6.1.3 on Linux, Windows and MacOS allows an adjacent-network attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of an authenticated administrator and steal the administrator's session token, resulting in Administrator Account Takeover. An attacker who controls an Nx server on the same network segment can set that server's site name to a script payload, which executes when an administrator opens the "Merge with Another Site" dialog and the site selection list is displayed.Solution: Update to Nx Witness VMS version 6.1.3 or later.
