CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedIBM Cognos Analytics versions 12.1.0 to 12.1.3 FP1 and 12.0.4 to 12.0.4 FP2 are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, allowing non-privileged users to inject malicious JavaScript into their profile names. When an administrator views these profiles, the injected script can execute, potentially compromising the administrator's session cookies. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.
Original NVD Description
IBM Cognos Analytics 12.1.0 through 12.1.3 FP1, and 12.0.4 through 12.0.4 FP2 allows a non-privileged user to edit their given name and surname to include malicious JavaScript code. When an administrator later accesses the user account management panel and views that user's permissions, the malicious JavaScript code is executed. This could result in the cookies from the administrator being compromised.
