CVE-2011-1524

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2011-1524 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the management login GUI of Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) prior to version 2.3. This flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, specifically through the username field, potentially impacting the event log. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (medium severity) and an AV:N/AC:M/Au:N vector, successful exploitation requires moderate attack complexity but does not necessitate authentication, leading to potential information disclosure or defacement. While not actively exploited in the wild and lacking Metasploit or Nuclei modules, public exploit code exists on ExploitDB, though community discussion and media coverage remain minimal.
