[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'CVE-2026-2547 is a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in LigeroSmart versions up to 6.1.26, specifically in the AgentDashboard function within the file /otrs/index.pl.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "The vulnerability occurs because the 'Subaction' parameter is not properly validated or encoded before being included in the web page output. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that is reflected back to the user and executed in their browser."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "Exploitation is possible remotely and requires the victim to interact with the maliciously crafted input. A proof-of-concept exploit demonstrates how an attacker can send a POST request with malicious script tags in the 'Subaction' parameter to trigger the XSS."}] [1, 2, 3]

What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

Currently, no patches or official mitigations have been provided by the LigeroSmart project as they have not responded to the issue report.

Immediate mitigation steps include:

• Avoid using the vulnerable versions of LigeroSmart (up to 6.1.26) and consider upgrading to a version that addresses the issue once available.
• Restrict access to the AgentDashboard functionality to trusted users only, minimizing exposure.
• Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious input targeting the Subaction parameter.
• Consider replacing the affected product with an alternative solution until a fix is released.
