CVE-2025-36056Network attack vector

Authenticated credential disclosure via Web UI script injection

Published Jul 1, 2025 · Updated Aug 24, 2025

Cross-site scripting in IBM TS7700 Virtualization Engine microcode allows remote authenticated users to expose credentials through the Web UI. The Web UI accepts attacker-supplied content and executes it as JavaScript in a trusted session, but IBM has not disclosed the affected field or handler. Exploitation requires authenticated access and user interaction; successful injection can disclose session credentials and alter interface actions.
