CVE-2020-4431Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via embedded Web UI JavaScript

Published Jun 2, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Cross-site scripting in IBM Planning Analytics Local 2.0 allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript in another user's Web UI session. The Planning Analytics Workspace Web UI accepts and embeds attacker-supplied JavaScript, but IBM has not disclosed the affected input, page, or rendering operation. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction, and successful execution can alter displayed content or expose credentials within the victim's trusted session.
