CVE-2023-3978

Отчет

Within regulated environments, a combination of the following controls acts as a significant barrier to successfully exploiting a CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability and therefore downgrades the severity of this particular CVE from Moderate to Low. Static code analysis controls ensure that security flaws, including XSS vulnerabilities, are detected early in development by scanning code for improper input handling. This prevents vulnerable code from reaching production and encourages our developers to follow secure coding practices. System monitoring controls play a crucial role in detecting and responding to XSS attacks by analyzing logs, monitoring user behavior, and generating alerts for suspicious activity. Meanwhile, AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) adds an extra layer of defense by filtering and blocking malicious input before it reaches the platform and/or application. Together, these controls create a defense-in-depth approach, reducing the risk of XSS exploitation by preventing, detecting, and mitigating attacks at multiple levels.
