Stored script execution via unsanitized Region entries
Published Oct 25, 2022 · Updated May 9, 2025
Stored XSS in Apache Geode 1.15.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script when an operator views Pulse region entries. Pulse renders attacker-controlled Region entry data in its web page without adequate output neutralization; the public advisory does not identify the responsible function. Exploitation requires permission to write Region data and an authenticated Pulse user to view the affected entry, enabling script execution in that user's browser.
