CVE-2026-12749Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via stored Web UI script

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026

Stored XSS in IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation allows remote authenticated users to embed JavaScript in the Business Automation Workflow Web UI. IBM identifies stored content execution in the Web UI but has not published the affected input field, endpoint, or output-rendering operation. An authenticated account is required; the injected script alters trusted-session behavior and exposes credentials available within that session.
