CVE-2019-14478
CWE-79Published: December 16, 2020· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
AdRem NetCrunch 10.6.0.4587 has a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the NetCrunch web client. The user's input data is not properly encoded when being echoed back to the user. This data can be interpreted as executable code by the browser and allows an attacker to execute JavaScript code in the context of the user's browser if the victim opens or searches for a node whose "Display Name" contains an XSS payload.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2019-14478 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.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
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.
