Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSecomea GateManager versions prior to 10.0 contain improper input validation when processing plugin files through the Administrator Interface. This allows an authenticated server administrator to inject malicious code into the GateManager interface through plugin file uploads or processing.
