Exploit-DB
Schneider Electric Telecontrol Kerweb 3.0.0/6.0.0 - 'kw.dll' HTML Injection
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/53409/info
Multiple Schneider Electric Telecontrol products are prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before it is used in dynamic content.
Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
The following products are affected:
Schneider Electric Telecontrol Kerweb versions prior to 3.0.1
Schneider Electric Telecontrol Kerwin versions prior to 6.0.1
