Technical details

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the administrative console login page of IBM WebSphere Application Server, which is utilized by IBM Tivoli System Automation Application Manager. The flaw (CWE-79) is caused by improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by persuading a user to visit a malicious URL or link, leading to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser session. This can result in credential theft, session hijacking, or unauthorized administrative actions. The vulnerability affects WebSphere Application Server versions 8.5 and 9.0 as integrated with Tivoli System Automation Application Manager 4.1.
