CVE-2020-11711: An issue was discovered in Stormshield SNS 3.8.0.

An issue was discovered in Stormshield SNS 3.8.0. Authenticated Stored XSS in the admin login panel leads to SSL VPN credential theft. A malicious disclaimer file can be uploaded from the admin panel. The resulting file is rendered on the authentication interface of the admin panel. It is possible to inject malicious HTML content in order to execute JavaScript inside a victim's browser. This results in a stored XSS on the authentication interface of the admin panel. Moreover, an unsecured authentication form is present on the authentication interface of the SSL VPN captive portal. Users are allowed to save their credentials inside the browser. If an administrator saves his credentials through this unsecured form, these credentials could be stolen via the stored XSS on the admin panel without user interaction. Another possible exploitation would be modification of the authentication form of the admin panel into a malicious form.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2020-11711 describes a stored cross-site scripting issue reported in Stormshield SNS 3.8.0. An authenticated attacker could place malicious content in a disclaimer shown on login pages, potentially stealing saved SSL VPN or administrator credentials.

Executive priority

Treat as priority for exposed Stormshield SNS environments because credential theft from VPN or admin workflows can affect network access. Urgency depends on whether version 3.8.0 is deployed and whether vendor remediation is applied.

Technical view

The bundle describes authenticated stored XSS through a malicious disclaimer file uploaded from the admin panel. The content is rendered on the admin authentication interface, allowing JavaScript execution in a victim browser and possible credential capture or form tampering.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most relevant to organizations using Stormshield SNS 3.8.0, especially where SSL VPN or admin login interfaces are reachable by administrators or remote users.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show KEV listing or active exploitation. The described attack requires authenticated ability to upload the disclaimer, then relies on victims using the affected login interfaces.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited to the CVE description and referenced advisory links in the bundle. CVSS, CWE, affected CPEs, patch version, and exploit-in-the-wild evidence are not provided here.

Mitigation direction

  • Review Stormshield advisory 2020-011 for vendor-confirmed fixes or mitigations.
  • Identify any Stormshield SNS 3.8.0 deployments in inventory.
  • Restrict access to admin and SSL VPN portals where feasible.
  • Review uploaded disclaimer content for unauthorized HTML or script content.
  • Avoid saving administrator credentials in browser-managed forms.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm Stormshield SNS version on each relevant appliance.
  • Check whether admin or SSL VPN login portals are exposed.
  • Review admin-panel access history for suspicious disclaimer changes.
  • Inspect current disclaimer content for unexpected markup or scripts.
  • Verify remediation status against Stormshield advisory 2020-011.
