description

Crafty Controller Audit Logs may render recorded HTTP-header content without safe output encoding. A remote unauthenticated attacker may cause browser-executed content to be stored in logs when a user later views the affected entry; this requires the attacker to reach the controller and the entry to be displayed.

mitigation

Restrict network access to Crafty Controller to trusted administrators and prevent untrusted requests from reaching it until a vendor fix or guidance is available. No fixed version is recorded in the available advisory data.
