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-2023-24737 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 processed by the script at /admin/convert/export_z3950.php. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2023-24737 and is classified under CWE-79, with a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.1 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, no required privileges, and required user interaction that produces changed scope with limited confidentiality and integrity impact.
An unauthenticated attacker can supply a crafted URL containing malicious JavaScript in the query parameter; when a user such as an administrator follows the link, the script executes in the victim's browser context, allowing actions such as session token theft or unauthorized actions within the PMB administrative interface.
The two provided references point to public proof-of-concept material on GitHub but contain no official vendor advisory or patch guidance.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1489 before receding to the current value of 0.0341, indicating that exploitation interest increased after disclosure.

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.
