Executive Summary

The vulnerability is a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the built-in XY Chart plugin. It allows a user with Editor permissions to modify a panel in such a way that arbitrary JavaScript code can be executed. This means that an attacker who has editing rights can inject malicious scripts that run in the context of the affected application.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include restricting Editor permissions to trusted users only, as the vulnerability requires Editor-level access to exploit. Additionally, follow best security practices such as network segmentation, access controls, and monitoring as outlined in SICK's cybersecurity guidelines. Keep the affected software updated with any patches or security advisories released by the vendor. Contact SICK PSIRT for official advisories and updates. Employ network security measures like firewalls, VLANs, and web application firewalls to limit exposure and prevent exploitation. [1, 5]
