DescriptionCVE.org

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 9.x 5.1.8 and Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 8.x 4.3.16 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injecting a crafted payload.

AnalysisAI

Cross-site scripting in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) 8.x and 9.x allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of an authenticated PVE user who interacts with a crafted payload. The CVSS scope change (S:C) confirms the injected script executes outside the originating component's security context, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized management actions against the hypervisor web UI. SSVC classifies exploitation status as none with no automation possible, and no active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Cross-site Scripting) identifies the root cause as insufficient sanitization or encoding of user-supplied input before it is rendered in the Proxmox VE web management interface. Proxmox VE is an open-source virtualization management platform built on Debian Linux, combining KVM hypervisor and LXC container support with a web-based administration UI. The CPE data provided (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a) is uninformative and does not identify the specific PVE component or sub-package where the injection point resides. The CVSS S:C (scope changed) metric indicates the injected script can affect resources - such as the user's authenticated browser session or DOM - beyond the vulnerable server-side component itself, which is the canonical CVSS representation of reflected or stored XSS in a web application.

RemediationAI

No exact patched version is identifiable from the available intelligence - the Proxmox forum advisory at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-virtual-environment-security-advisories.149331/post-849973 should be consulted for the definitive fixed package version and upgrade instructions. As a compensating control, restrict access to the Proxmox web management interface (default port 8006) to trusted administrative networks or VPN only, preventing external attackers from delivering crafted payloads to internal users. Additionally, enforce Content Security Policy (CSP) headers on the PVE web UI if supported by the installed version, which can limit the impact of XSS by restricting script execution origins. Administrators should also train PVE users to avoid clicking external links while authenticated to the management console. None of these controls substitute for applying the vendor-released patch once a confirmed fix version is available.
