PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
===================

The IE/WSN-PA Link is a gateway between a WirelessHART network and wired
Ethernet network.

VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION
============================

The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSS scoring
system in version 3.0 (CVSS v3.0) (https://www.first.org/cvss/). The CVSS 
environmental score is specific to the customer's environment and will impact
the overall CVSS score. The environmental score should therefore be 
individually defined by the customer to accomplish final scoring.


* Vulnerability CVE-2019-13923

  The integrated configuration web server of the affected device could
  allow Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if unsuspecting users are
  tricked into accessing a malicious link.
  
  User interaction is required for a successful exploitation. The user
  must be logged into the web interface in order for the exploitation to
  succeed. At the stage of publishing this security advisory no public
  exploitation is known.

  CVSS v3.0 Base Score: 7.5
