CVE-2024-9110
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA medium severity vulnerability has been identified within Privileged Identity which can allow an attacker to perform reflected cross-site scripting attacks.
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 confidenceA reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Privileged Identity product allows attackers to inject malicious client-side scripts through unsanitized user inputs that are reflected back in HTTP responses, potentially enabling session hijacking or unauthorized actions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm BeyondTrust Privileged Identity installationCheck for the Privileged Identity service or process running on the system. Look for installation directories typically under C:\Program Files\BeyondTrust\ or check Windows Services for 'BeyondTrust Privileged Identity' entries.Affected if The product is not installed or no matching service/process is found, then not affected.
-
Identify installed version numberLocate the product version information. This may be available in the product's web interface (typically under Help > About), in Windows Programs and Features, or in version files within the installation directory.Affected if Unable to determine version - further investigation needed.
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare your identified version to the affected range: versions prior to 7.4.2 are vulnerable. For example, 7.4.1, 7.4.0, 7.3.x, 7.2.x, and earlier are all within the affected range.Affected if Installed version is any release prior to 7.4.2 (e.g., 7.4.1, 7.3.0, etc.).
-
Verify web interface accessibilityConfirm the Privileged Identity web portal is accessible. Reflected XSS requires HTTP responses to execute, so check if the web interface is reachable and user authentication is possible.Affected if Web interface is accessible and the product version is below 7.4.2.
Your environment is affected if BeyondTrust Privileged Identity is installed with a version number lower than 7.4.2 and the web interface is accessible for user interactions.
