**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.

According to the tech giant, it has observed a threat group seeking out vulnerable customer accounts using generative AI, then creating tools to abuse these services.

The security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-50603, which rates 10 out of 10 on the CVSS scale, enables unauthenticated remote code execution on affected systems, which cyberattackers are using to plant malware.

Threat actors are targeting people searching for pirated or cracked software with fake downloaders that include infostealing malware such as Lumma and Vidar.

### Summary Jte HTML templates with `script` tags or script attributes that include a Javascript template string (backticks) are subject to XSS. ### Details The `javaScriptBlock` and `javaScriptAttribute` methods in the `Escape` class ([source](https://github.com/casid/jte/blob/main/jte-runtime/src/main/java/gg/jte/html/escape/Escape.java#L43-L83)) do not escape backticks, which are used for Javascript [template strings](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals#description). Dollar signs in template strings should also be escaped as well to prevent undesired interpolation. ### PoC 1. Use the [Jte Gradle Plugin](https://jte.gg/gradle-plugin/) with the following code in `src/jte/xss.jte`: ```html @param String someMessage <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>XSS Test</title> <script>window.someVariable = `${someMessage}`;</script> </head> <body> <h1>XSS Test</h1> </body> </html>...
