Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Sitecore CMS login-page cross-site scripting issue. A remote attacker could inject script or HTML through the sc_error parameter on login/default.aspx. The business risk is mainly session theft, phishing, or trust abuse against administrators if an affected legacy Sitecore instance is still exposed. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Sitecore CMS installations older than 6.0.2 Update-1 090507 where login/default.aspx is reachable. The bundle's affected-product metadata is incomplete, so teams should confirm against asset inventory and vendor records. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless asset review finds internet-facing, unsupported Sitecore administration portals. Prioritize remediation for systems used by administrators or exposed to untrusted users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Sitecore CMS instances to 6.0.2 Update-1 090507 or later vendor-supported builds.; Check Sitecore vendor guidance for supported fixes and legacy upgrade paths.; Restrict public access to Sitecore administrative login pages where operationally possible..
