How CVE-2025-32984 Works
This vulnerability in NETSCOUT nGeniusONE (before v6.4.0 b2350) allows attackers to inject malicious scripts via a POST parameter. The payload persists in the web interface, executing when an admin views the compromised component. The lack of input sanitization enables stored XSS, potentially leading to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or malware delivery.
