CVE-2025-1997Network attack vector

Authenticated data exposure via injected HTML tags

Published Mar 27, 2025 · Updated Sep 29, 2025

HTML injection in IBM DevOps Deploy allows remote authenticated users to disclose sensitive data through crafted web UI content. The web UI renders user-supplied arbitrary HTML tags without the required neutralization; IBM has not identified the affected field or handler. A low-privileged account and another user's interaction are required, and the reported consequence is limited to confidentiality and UI content integrity.
