The endpoint reflects unsanitized user input in HTTP responses without adequate output encoding, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of a victim's browser.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-29964 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
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.
