CVE-2023-42015Network attack vector

Sensitive information disclosure via injected HTML tags

Published Dec 19, 2023 · Updated Nov 21, 2024

HTML injection in IBM DevOps Deploy allows remote authenticated users to expose sensitive information through crafted HTML in the Web UI. IBM identifies the Web UI as the affected component but has not disclosed the specific input field, handler, or rendering operation that accepts arbitrary tags. Low-privileged authenticated access is required, and the documented consequence is sensitive information disclosure with no reported integrity or availability impact.
