Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2023-24733 is a medium-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Sigb Pmb. Its CVSS base score is 6.1 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 33% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
PMB version 7.4.6 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the query parameter handled by the script /admin/convert/export_z3950_new.php. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2023-24733 and is classified under CWE-79, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no required privileges, and required user interaction that results in changed scope with limited confidentiality and integrity impact.
An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious URL containing executable script in the query parameter and deliver it to a victim user. When the victim follows the link, the script executes in the context of the PMB administrative interface, enabling actions such as session token theft or unauthorized actions within the affected application.
Public references consist of proof-of-concept material hosted on GitHub, while the EPSS score has remained essentially flat near 0.15 with a recorded peak of 0.1509, indicating moderate but stable exploitation interest since disclosure. No vendor advisory or patch information is referenced in the available sources.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.
Validates web inputs to reject script-related content that could produce XSS.
Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly target introduction of XSS via coding standards/testing (mostly), yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors unaddressed (partial).
Patching and EOL replacement can remediate known XSS instances in libraries or frameworks (partial) but do nothing to enforce input neutralization in application code (none).
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
A.5.6 only promotes membership in groups to improve knowledge, receive alerts, and share information; it performs no action that stops XSS exploitation (or even the underlying neutralization defect) and is a pure dependency for other controls per the owner's labeling rule.
