CVE-2024-40696Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via Dashboard JavaScript injection

Published Jan 31, 2025 · Updated Jan 31, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Standard Edition allows privileged users to disclose credentials through its Web UI. The Dashboard UI renders privileged-user input as executable JavaScript instead of neutralizing it during page generation. Exploitation requires a privileged account and another user's interaction with the altered UI, exposing credentials and changing displayed functionality.
