CVE-2021-29713Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via embedded Web UI script

Published Oct 27, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Cross-site scripting in IBM Jazz Foundation products allows remote authenticated users to disclose credentials through crafted Web UI content. IBM states that user-supplied content is embedded as arbitrary JavaScript in the Web UI, but does not identify the affected field or rendering function. An authenticated user must plant the content and another user must interact with it in a trusted session; observed impact is limited to credential disclosure and page alteration.
