CVE-2023-22594Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via embedded Web UI JavaScript

Published Jan 18, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IBM Robotic Process Automation for Cloud Pak 20.12.0 through 21.0.4 allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript. The Web UI accepts embedded JavaScript and executes it in a trusted session; IBM has not disclosed the affected field, route, or missing neutralization operation. Low-privileged access and victim interaction are required, and execution can alter displayed behavior or disclose credentials within that session.
