Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an input neutralization flaw in the Server MOTD (Message of the Day) component of Crafty Controller. It allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject and store malicious scripts (stored XSS) by modifying the server MOTD, which can then be executed in the context of users viewing the MOTD.

Impact Analysis
