The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to hold a valid low-privileged authenticated account on the SEDR Console (PR:L) and requires a second victim user to interact by rendering the injected content in their session (UI:R), which is the mechanism by which the script crosses into another user's context (S:C). Impact is limited to in-session script execution (Low confidentiality and integrity, no availability impact); it does not yield direct host or server compromise. Limiting factors: no unauthenticated access, mandatory victim interaction, and applicability only to SEDR Console versions prior to 4.13 (confirmed affected: 4.12) - environments patched to 4.13 or later are not exploitable.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity stored/reflected XSS (CWE-79) in the Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (SEDR) Console, with the vendor-supplied CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N yielding 5.4 (Medium). The signals are internally consistent and point to a bounded, non-critical issue: network vector but low complexity, requiring an attacker to already hold a low-privileged authenticated console account (PR:L) AND requiring a victim user to interact (UI:R) by viewing the injected content. The scope-changed (S:C) with only Low confidentiality and Low integrity impact and no availability impact reflects script execution in another user's browser session rather than full host compromise. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the supplied data, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation - exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' This is a real-but-low-urgency hygiene issue: it matters because the affected product is a security console whose users are typically privileged administrators, so a successful XSS could facilitate privilege escalation or session abuse within the EDR management plane, but the dual requirements of prior authentication plus victim interaction substantially limit mass exploitation. No conflicting signals were found; the main gap is the absence of exploitation-probability (EPSS) and POC data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged but authenticated SEDR console user injects a malicious script payload into a console field or parameter that is later rendered to another user. When a higher-privileged administrator views that content in the SEDR Console, the script executes in their session context, potentially allowing the attacker to read or act on functionality restricted to that administrator. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires both a valid console account and victim interaction.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

Cross-site scripting in the Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (SEDR) Console prior to version 4.13 lets an authenticated, low-privileged console user inject script that is then rendered and executed in another user's session, potentially exposing console functionality and information normally restricted to that victim. Exploitation is not unauthenticated: it requires a valid low-privileged account (PR:L) and a second user to interact with the crafted content (UI:R), with impact confined to in-session confidentiality and integrity and no availability effect (CVSS:3.1 base 5.4, Medium). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no active exploitation is indicated.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (SEDR) Console to version 4.13 or later, which is the fixed release boundary indicated by the vendor ('prior to 4.13'); consult the Broadcom/Symantec security advisory at https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/38870 for the definitive patched build and any additional guidance. Where the upgrade cannot be scheduled immediately, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the SEDR Console management interface to trusted administrative networks or VPN only (trade-off: loss of flexible remote administration), auditing and trimming low-privileged console accounts since PR:L is the entry condition (trade-off: possible disruption to read-only or analyst workflows), and requiring administrators to use dedicated, patched browsers with session hygiene such as logout after use. Note that generic web-application defenses are only partial here: the flaw requires victim interaction, so user awareness and a strict Content-Security-Policy on the console, if supported, reduce but do not eliminate the risk, and no vendor-supplied workaround is documented in the available references.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is a CWE-79 cross-site scripting flaw in the web-based Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (SEDR) Console, the management interface administrators use to monitor endpoint detections and respond to incidents. The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N describes a network-reachable flaw of low attack complexity that still requires the attacker to hold a valid low-privileged account on the console, plus user interaction from a second victim whose browser renders the injected payload; the S:C scope change reflects that the injected script executes in the victim user's security context rather than the attacker's, which is the core risk of XSS in an administrative console. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag attached to the source data should be read as describing the consequence of script execution in a more privileged user's session, not as an unauthenticated bypass: the assessed vector explicitly carries PR:L, so no unauthenticated access is demonstrated. The advisory is vendor-published through Broadcom/Symantec support (EUVD-2026-100477), and applicability is bounded to SEDR Console versions prior to 4.13, with 4.12 confirmed affected.

DescriptionCVE.org

Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response (SEDR) Console, prior to 4.13, may be susceptible to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to inject malicious script that executes in the context of another user’s session, potentially resulting in unauthorized access to functionality or information normally restricted to that user.

Attack Technique

Cross-Site Scripting occurs when an application accepts untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper validation or encoding.

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
