DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Engineering AI Hub 1.0.0, 1.1.0, and 1.2.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary scripts due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation.

AnalysisAI

Stored/reflected cross-site scripting in IBM Engineering AI Hub 1.0.0 through 1.2.0 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker inject arbitrary scripts into generated web pages that execute in a victim's authenticated browser session. Because the CVSS scope is marked changed (S:C), successful exploitation can impact resources beyond the vulnerable component - such as the user's session with adjacent applications. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Delivery
Deliver crafted link to Engineering AI Hub user
Exploit
Victim renders unsanitized web page
Execution
Script executes in victim session
Impact
Hijack session or act as victim

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that a victim with access to IBM Engineering AI Hub (versions 1.0.0-1.2.0) interact with attacker-controlled content - this is the UI:R limiting factor: the attacker cannot fire the payload autonomously and must get a user to load a crafted request, link, or page where unsanitized input is rendered. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N, 9.3) rates this Critical, driven largely by C:H/I:H combined with the changed scope - an aggressive impact rating for XSS, which typically confers Low confidentiality/integrity impact bounded by the victim's browser context; verify the High impact rating against IBM's advisory before treating it as full-session compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious URL or input that embeds a JavaScript payload and delivers it to a legitimate Engineering AI Hub user (e.g. via a phishing link or a shared engineering artifact). …
Remediation Apply the vendor-provided fix: Patch available per vendor advisory (IBM Support document https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7279964) - consult that advisory for the exact fixed release, as no specific patched version string was supplied in the input and version numbers should not be invented. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
