Credential disclosure via arbitrary Web UI script

Published Feb 4, 2025 · Updated Feb 22, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IBM Security Verify Access 10.0.0 through 10.0.8 allows remote attackers to execute JavaScript in the Web UI. IBM has not disclosed the affected route, parameter, or output operation that admits the untrusted script. No account is required to place the script, but a trusted user must render the affected interface; execution can disclose credentials and alter page behavior.
