Summary
Festo: Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in LX-Appliance
Notes
Summary: A vulnerability in the Video.js package could allow a user of LX Appliance, with a high privilege account (i.e., with the "Teacher" role), to craft a malicious course and launch an XSS attack.
Remediation: Contact Festo Didactic services department at services.didactic@festo.com to update your LX Appliance to the latest version.
General recommendation: As part of a security strategy, Festo recommends the following general defense measures to reduce the risk of exploits: - Use LX Appliances only in a protected environment to minimize network exposure and ensure that they are not accessible from outside - Use firewalls to protect and separate LX Appliances from other networks - Use VPN (Virtual Private Networks) tunnels if remote access is required - Limit the access to LX Appliances by physical means, operating system features, etc. Festo strongly recommends minimizing and protect network access to LX Appliances with state-of-the-art techniques and processes.

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
