Good morning,
The official description provided by NVD Nist is:
"There is an HTML injection vulnerability in Esri Portal for ArcGIS versions 11.1 and below that may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to create a crafted link which when clicked could render arbitrary HTML in the victim's browser."
Therefore, could you also add the "esri:portal_for_arcgis" cpe?
We would appreciate it very much,
Best regards,
TEAM CERT

Esri published the CVEs and declared the products mentioned in the JSON files. Their summaries do contradict this somehow. We have tried to align it with the best possible CPE values.
