CVE-2024-4554Network attack vector

Authenticated script execution in users' browsers

Published Aug 28, 2024 · Updated Oct 6, 2025

Cross-site scripting in OpenText NetIQ Access Manager before 5.0.4.1 and 5.1 allows remote authenticated users to run browser scripts. OpenText identifies multiple XSS flaws caused by improper input validation but does not disclose the affected pages, parameters, or faulty validation operations. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction; published assessments limit the impact to reading or modifying data, not service interruption.
