CVE-2019-4608Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via Web UI script injection

Published Mar 10, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Cross-site scripting in IBM Workload Scheduler 9.3 allows remote authenticated users to disclose credentials through its Web UI. The Dynamic Workload Console accepts attacker-supplied JavaScript for the Web UI, but IBM has not identified the affected field, handler, or encoding failure. A low-privileged authenticated user must inject the script, and another user must interact with the altered interface in a trusted session.
