CVE-2023-50947Network attack vector

Credential exposure via reflected Web UI scripts

Published Feb 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 22, 2024

Reflected XSS in IBM Business Automation Workflow 22.0.2, 23.0.1, and 23.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to inject Web UI scripts. IBM identifies the Web UI as the injection locus but does not disclose the affected parameter or the output-encoding operation that reflects untrusted script content. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and victim interaction in a trusted session, allowing injected code to alter page behavior and expose credentials.
