CVE-2025-9787Network attack vector

Victim-context JavaScript execution via unsafe dashboard-name rendering

Published Dec 18, 2025 · Updated Dec 18, 2025

Stored DOM XSS in Applications Manager 173300 through 177400 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in a victim's browser. The search renderer places a stored, attacker-controlled dashboard name into the DOM with unsafe APIs instead of DOM-safe rendering. Exploitation requires high application privileges and a victim to create or edit a NOC view and use dashboard search; the script can perform actions allowed to the victim's role.
