Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions McAfee Policy Auditor versions prior to 6.5.2

Description A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting issue allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the profileNodeID request parameters. The malicious script is reflected unmodified into the Policy Auditor web-based interface, which could lead to the extraction of end user session token or login credentials. These may be used to access additional security-critical applications or conduct arbitrary cross-domain requests.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.5.2, update to version 6.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the profileNodeID parameter in the affected API endpoint until a patch is available.
