Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM QRadar SIEM versions 7.3 through 7.4

Description The issue is related to insufficient validation of incoming requests, allowing for potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This could enable users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI, altering its intended functionality and potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session. The vulnerability may also allow a remote attacker to perform a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attack by sending specially crafted requests.

Recommendations For IBM QRadar SIEM versions 7.3 and 7.4, consider disabling the Web UI functionality until a patch is available to prevent potential cross-site scripting attacks. Restrict access to the Web UI to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the Web UI for sensitive operations until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
