CVE-2026-45778 · Severity: info · CVSS 8.6 · Published 2026-06-05

Open XDMoD is a tool used to analyze performance metrics for high-performance computing (HPC) environments. A security flaw allows a logged-in user to inject malicious code into their profile and use the password reset system to send a dangerous link to other users. If a victim clicks the link, the attacker could steal their login credentials or take over their account, potentially compromising sensitive research data or system access.

## Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Open XDMoD's password reset functionality. An authenticated attacker can inject a malicious JavaScript payload into their own user profile; when the attacker subsequently triggers a password reset, the system generates an email containing a link to an HTML page that fails to sanitize the profile data. When a victim visits this page, the payload executes in their browser context. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, and full account takeover. The vulnerability is patched in version 11.0.3.
