Exposure
- Identify the affected web component and source-stated version range.Telemetry: Application inventory · The weakness class does not identify local deployment. · Rule cross-site-scripting
- Identify endpoints reporting this CVE, especially those used for email and web browsing.Telemetry: DeviceTvmSoftwareVulnerabilities · A network vector that needs user interaction points at user-facing client software. · Rule user-interaction-client
Exploitation evidence
- Review suspicious script-bearing requests to the affected endpoint.Telemetry: Application access logs · Requests are leads, not evidence that a user session was compromised. · Rule cross-site-scripting
