CVSS v3.1
Official Description
A reflected cross site scripting attack in the NetIQ Access Manager before 4.3.3 using the "typecontainerid" parameter of the policy editor could allowed code injection into pages of authenticated users.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2017-14800 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
