Good morning,
The official description provided by NVD Nist is:
"There is a Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in Portal for ArcGIS in versions <=11.0 that may allow a remote, authenticated attacker to create a crafted link which when accessing the page editor an image will render in the victim's browser. The privileges required to execute this attack are high."
Therefore, could you also add the "esri:portal_for_arcgis" cpe?
I can't find the cpe used by you in the official dictionary.
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.
