What it is
Script tags in input are written into a page and run in the viewer's browser.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 14% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place Coupa Total Spend Management Platform runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- While there is no fix, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
- Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.
Description from NVD
The platform allows persistent HTML injection into editable fields managed by TinyMCE. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can inject unsanitised HTML content which is stored in the database and subsequently rendered in other users’ browsers, affecting the display of content within the application.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Web front ends and single-page apps. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
- Admin consoles served to a browser. The flaw sits between a user's browser and the web application.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- People who open files and links. Mail, chat and browsers are the delivery path.
- Between a user's browser and the web application. An attacker who crosses it can act inside a signed-in user's browser session.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Coupa Total Spend Management Platform run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
