CVE-2024-25041Network attack vector

Script execution via unvalidated Assistant column headings

Published Jun 28, 2024 · Updated Nov 3, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to run scripts. Cognos Assistant accepts column headings without properly validating them before including them in browser-rendered output. Successful exploitation requires low-privilege access and user interaction and runs attacker-controlled script in the victim's browser context.
