Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Cognos Analytics versions 11.0 through 11.1

Description The issue is related to a lack of protection for the web page structure, allowing for cross-site scripting attacks. This enables users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI, potentially altering the intended functionality and leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.

Recommendations For versions 11.0 and 11.1, consider disabling JavaScript execution in the Web UI as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive areas of the application to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
