NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pki-core:10.6/pki-base package and not the pki-core:10.6/pki-base package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Key Recovery Authority (KRA) Agent Service in pki-core 10.10.5 where it did not properly sanitize the recovery ID during a key recovery request, enabling a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could trick an authenticated victim into executing specially crafted Javascript code.
