CVE-2023-22868Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via Web UI script injection

Published Feb 17, 2023 · Updated Mar 12, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IBM Aspera Faspex 4.4.2 PL1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject JavaScript into the Web UI. IBM identifies the Web UI as the locus but has not disclosed the affected field, handler, or exact failure to neutralize user input. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and a trusted-session user to load the injected content, exposing credentials and altering displayed behavior.
