Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Netsweeper version 4.0.4

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url parameter to "webadmin/deny/index.php" API endpoint. This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue, which can lead to the execution of malicious scripts on the client-side.

Recommendations: For Netsweeper version 4.0.4, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "webadmin/deny/index.php" API endpoint until a patch is available. Avoid using the url parameter in this endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
