CVE-2022-43532Network attack vector

Browser script execution via stored cross-site scripting

Published Jan 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Stored XSS in ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.12 and 6.10.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts in browsers. HPE identifies the web-based management interface but has not disclosed the input field or storage-and-rendering path that fails to neutralize script content. Exploitation requires access to the authenticated interface and an administrative user to view the stored content, executing code only in that user's browser context.
