2. Introduction

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and Open Redirect vulnerabilities in vRealize Log Insight were privately reported to the VMware Security Response Center. Updates are available to remediate these vulnerabilities in vRealize Log Insight.

3a. Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in vRealize Log Insight due to improper Input validation (CVE-2020-3953)

Description

vRealize Log Insight does not properly validate user input, resulting in XSS vulnerabilities. VMware has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the Important severity range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 8.4.
