Last modified
CVE-2021-40223 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Rittal CMC PU III Web management (version V3.11.00_2) fails to sanitize user input on several parameters of the configuration (User Configuration dialog, Task Configuration dialog and set logging filter dialog). This allows an attacker to backdoor the device with HTML and browser-interpreted content (such as JavaScript or other client-side scripts). EPSS estimates a 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
