Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2016-6588 is a cross-site scripting issue in the workflow process manager console of Symantec IT Management Suite 8.0. If the console is reachable, malicious script could run in a user's browser context. The public bundle does not provide CVSS, exploit details, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Symantec IT Management Suite 8.0 before HF4, especially where the workflow process manager console is accessible to administrators or internal users. Treat this as a moderate hygiene and administration-console risk. Prioritize inventory and remediation for any remaining pre-HF4 ITMS 8.0 systems, but do not escalate as active exploitation based on the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Identify all Symantec IT Management Suite 8.0 deployments.; Check whether each deployment is before 8.0 HF4.; Apply Symantec's referenced advisory guidance for fixed or hotfix versions..
