CVE-2024-28772
Ibm
CVE-2024-28772: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in IBM Security Directory Integrator and IBM Security Verify Directory Integrator. This allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code into the Web UI. The vulnerability, identified by IBM X-Force ID 285645, can lead to unauthorized actions within a user's session, including potential credential theft. Despite a CVSS score of 5.4, indicating moderate severity, organizations should still be aware of this issue. With an SVRS score of 30, it's considered a low-priority risk, but requires monitoring. The stored XSS can compromise user sessions, enabling attackers to perform actions on behalf of legitimate users. This highlights the importance of input validation and output encoding in web applications. Regular security audits are essential to mitigate such security risks.
